It depends upon what type of plug that you are talking about. There are many configurations of plugs. The one that you are probably referring to is a 2 pole 3 wire grounding plug. To correctly identify the "phase" pin a voltage and amperage must be stated. It will fall under one of three designations L5, L6 or L7.

By Convenstion the right side pin is supposed to be phase or hot pin. Left side pin is neutral. Top side pin, which is slightly larger and bit longer is for grounding. This convention is applicable in India.
