it wont be there on the car.. but the dealer should be able to show you documents that tells the month of manufacture and date of delivery to their stockyard.. if you have already bought the car, the invoice will tell the month of manufacture i think.

I am not sure about Santro.. but most european cars have "VIN decoder" websites. (google for VIN decoder <brand>) which give a truck load on information on your car.

Here is an example for Skoda (VW):
