  1. I18N Standards - Code Snippets
  2. India

Here is a complete list of standards and formats used in India. It includes a full list of ISO codes, number, date, currency, telephone and address formats. You will also get code examples on how to perform the most common formatting operations in Java, C#, JavaScript and PHP. Multiple resource files are made available, mainly the complete list of states, in different formats such as CSV, XML, JSON, HTML and SQL.

What are the ISO-3166-1 codes for India?

  • Alpha-2: IN
  • Alpha-3: IND
  • Numeric: 356
  • Java Locale Code: hi_IN and en_IN
  • .Net CultureInfo Code: hi-IN and en-IN<
  • PHP Locale Code: hi_IN and en_IN

What is the official language in India?

  • Hindi and English

What is the date format in India?

The official date format is little-endian

  • Format: DD-MM-YY (and DD-MM-YYYY)
    Ex: 31-12-14 (and 31-12-2014) for December 31st 2014
Formatting a date in Java:
Locale locale = new Locale("en", "IN"); // or "hi"
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yy", locale); // or yyyy
sdf.format(new Date());
Formatting a date in C#:
CultureInfo ci = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-IN"); // or "hi-IN"
DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yy", ci); // OR yyyy
Formatting a date in JavaScript:
let date = new Date();
date.toLocaleDateString('en-IN', {month: '2-digit', day: '2-digit', year: '2-digit'}); // or "hi-IN"
// use year: 'numeric' for full yyyy
// Note that some browser will use slashes instead of dashes, you can replace those with the following: date.replace(/\//g,'-');
Formatting a date in PHP:
date("d-m-y"); // or date("d-m-Y") for yyyy

What is the time format in India?

The time format in India is 12-hour notation in most cases. 24-hour notation is used for transport mostly (train, planes, etc.)

  • Format: h:mm[:ss] AM|PM
    Ex: 1:30 PM, 3:30:45 AM
Formatting time in Java:
Locale locale = new Locale("en", "IN"); // or "hi"
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("h:mm:ss a", locale);
sdf.format(new Date());
Formatting time in C#:
CultureInfo ci = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-IN"); // or "hi-IN"
DateTime.Now.ToString("h:mm:ss tt", ci);
Formatting time in JavaScript:
let date = new Date();
date.toLocaleTimeString('en-IN', {hour12: true}); // or hi-IN
Formatting time in PHP:
date("g:i:s a");
// or
// setlocale(LC_TIME, "hi_IN.utf8");
// strftime('%l:%M:%S %P');

What is the numeric format in India?

  • Format: 99,99,99,999.99
    • Group Size: 3 for first three, 2 after
    • Grouping Character: , (comma)
    • Decimal Character: . (dot)
Formatting numbers in Java:
// Use ICU4J (http://site.icu-project.org/)!
import com.ibm.icu.util.ULocale;
import com.ibm.icu.text.NumberFormat;

ULocale locale = new ULocale("en", "IN"); // or "hi"
NumberFormat numberFormat = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(locale);
numberFormat.format(999999999.99d);
Formatting numbers in C#:
double d = 999999999.99d;
d.ToString("n", CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-IN"))); // or "hi-IN"
Formatting numbers in JavaScript:
let number = 999999999.99;
number.toLocaleString('en-IN'); // 'hi-IN'
Formatting numbers in PHP:
$fmt = new NumberFormatter($locale = 'en_IN', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL);
$fmt->format(999999999.99);

What is the currency format in India?

  • Format: ₹ 99,99,99,999.99
    • Group Size: 3 for first three, 2 after
    • Grouping Character: , (comma)
    • Decimal Character: . (dot)
    • Currency Symbol: ₹
    • Currency Symbol Position: Before number
    • Currency Name: Indian Rupee (INR)
Formatting currency in Java:
import com.ibm.icu.util.ULocale;
import com.ibm.icu.text.NumberFormat;

ULocale locale = new ULocale("en", "IN"); // or "hi"
NumberFormat numberFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);
numberFormat.format(999999999.99d);
Formatting currency in C#:
double d = 999999999.99d;
d.ToString("c", CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-IN"))); // or "hi-IN"
Formatting currency in JavaScript:
let number = 999999999.99;
number.toLocaleString('en-IN', {currency: 'INR', style: 'currency'});
Formatting currency in PHP:
$fmt = new NumberFormatter($locale = 'en_IN', NumberFormatter::CURRENCY);
$fmt->format(999999999.99);
