KOLKATA MINT: struck coins will have no mint mark on them
MUMBAI MINT: struck proof coins were initially having mint mark 'B' placed below the midpoint of the date, but later on after Bombay was renamed as Mumbai, the mint mark was changed from 'B' to 'M'.
Only -Jawahar Lal Nehru Centenary - UNC sets have the Mint mark 'U' placed below the midpoint of the date which were minted during the year 1989.
The coins which were struck by Mumbai mint, for the purpose of general circulation, diamond (Rhombus) shaped mint mark was placed either below the midpoint of the date (as in case of most of the coins), or on the right side of the date (e.g. Rajeev Gandhi One Rupee).
HYDERABAD MINT:initially placed split diamond (as shown in below given image) as a mint mark just below the midpoint of the date, but later onward it started place dot within a diamond as its mint mark. From 1964 onward it is using the 5 pointed Star as a mint mark which will be placed just below the midpoint of the date in most of the coins (in Rajeev Gandhi One Rupee we can see mint mark being placed on the right side of the coin).
NOIDA MINT: uses -round dot- shaped mint mark placed just below the midpoint of the date.
