You posted the Maruti Suzuki Ritz VIN = MA3EDKD1S00356324 DR4CD1. Where are you pulling the VIN from?

I don't have all the answers yet but here is some info that may be helpful.

The Maruti VIN should only be 17 characters long as stated in other posts I have read.

The DR4CD1 describes the variant of your car. In this case the DR4CD1 indicates this Ritz is a Vdi BS IV. Here is a list of the other Ritz variants I have seen:
DR4CD1 - Vxi BS IV
DR4CD2 - Vxi (ABS) BS IV
DRDCD1 - Vdi BS IV
DRDCD2 - Vdi (ABS) BS IV
DR4CS1 - Lxi BS IV
DRDCS1 - Ldi BS IV
DR4CL1 - Zxi BS IV
DR4CL2 - Zxi (ABS) BS IV

As previously posted in many other forums:
wildon said:
For getting the Month and Year code of Maruti car you have to Look Under the Bonnet near to the hinges there will be additional Letter/Number. If you found that for e.g GA then its July 2010 Manufactured Vehicle.

The month codes:

A= JAN
B= FEB
C= MAR
D= APR
E= MAY
F= JUNE
G= JULY
H= AUG
J= SEP
K= OCT
L= NOV
M= DEC

The year codes:

B=2011
A=2010
9=2009
8=2008
7=2007
6=2006
5=2005
4=2004
3=2003
2=2002
1=2001
Hopefully this information helps lead to fully understanding how the Maruti Suzuki VIN numbers are identified.
