@Shabbo ... hmm?
If You would like to get V-column's row number for matching 'Vechile No'
write next to cell [A2] and copy down...
=IFERROR(MATCH(LEFT(MID(F2,14,99)&" ",12),V:V,0),"none")
but but ... someway not so clear, what do You really want to do?

Dear Sir,
Both Vehicle number should be same, if not then Payment made to wrong vehicle number; data is large so it takes time to check manually if formula helps then it will save time.

here I have pasted in B2 but its not working.

Aren't those F2 & V2 'Vechile number' same?
... and You didn't say WHERE do You would like to get something - or how?
As I tried to wrote - Write to Cell [A2] that formula!

Dear Sir,
In some cases it may not be the same.
If the Vehicle numbers are not same in It should show False as explain in my attached worksheet.
I want to ensure my vehicle number in NOTE and Vehicle number column both are matching.

NO MARKS of TRUE or FALSE -results!
Now, You changed ... so here is one possible TRUE/FALSE

=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(LEFT(MID(F2,14,99)&" ",12),V:V,0)>0,TRUE,FALSE),FALSE)
And of course, those could be different, but in sample, ALL MATCH!

Its working exactly the way I want thank you.
 
If you just need to look across one row then you can use:
=ISNUMBER(SEARCH(TRIM(V2),F2))

vletm's formula will look through complete V column.
