How to validate PAN Card number using Regular Expression
Last Updated :
26 Dec, 2022
Given string str of alphanumeric characters, the task is to check whether the string is a valid PAN (Permanent Account Number) Card number or not by using Regular Expression.
The valid PAN Card number must satisfy the following conditions:
- It should be ten characters long.
- The first five characters should be any upper case alphabets.
- The next four-characters should be any number from 0 to 9.
- The last(tenth) character should be any upper case alphabet.
- It should not contain any white spaces.
Examples:
Input: str = “BNZAA2318J”
Output: true
Explanation:
The given string satisfies all the above mentioned conditions.
Input: str = “23ZAABN18J”
Output: false
Explanation:
The given string not starts with upper case alphabets, therefore it is not a valid PAN Card number.
Input: str = “BNZAA2318JM”
Output: false
Explanation:
The given string contains eleven characters, therefore it is not a valid PAN Card number.
Input: str = “BNZAA23184”
Output: true
Explanation:
The last(tenth) character of this string is a numeric(0-9) character, therefore it is not a valid PAN Card number.
Input: str = “BNZAA 23184”
Output: true
Explanation:
The given string contains white spaces, therefore it is not a valid PAN Card number.
Approach: This problem can be solved by using Regular Expression.
- Get the string.
- Create a regular expression to validate the PAN Card number as mentioned below:
regex = "[A-Z]{5}[0-9]{4}[A-Z]{1}";
- Where:
- [A-Z]{5} represents the first five upper case alphabets which can be A to Z.
- [0-9]{4} represents the four numbers which can be 0-9.
- [A-Z]{1} represents the one upper case alphabet which can be A to Z.
- Match the given string with the regex, in Java, this can be done using Pattern.matcher().
- Return true if the string matches with the given regex, else return false.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
C++
#include <iostream>
#include <regex>
using namespace std;
bool isValidPanCardNo(string panCardNo)
{
const regex pattern( "[A-Z]{5}[0-9]{4}[A-Z]{1}" );
if (panCardNo.empty()) {
return false ;
}
if (regex_match(panCardNo, pattern))
{
return true ;
}
else
{
return false ;
}
}
int main()
{
string str1 = "BNZAA2318J" ;
cout << isValidPanCardNo(str1) << endl;
string str2 = "23ZAABN18J" ;
cout << isValidPanCardNo(str2) << endl;
string str3 = "BNZAA2318JM" ;
cout << isValidPanCardNo(str3) << endl;
string str4 = "BNZAA23184" ;
cout << isValidPanCardNo(str4) << endl;
string str5 = "BNZAA 23184" ;
cout << isValidPanCardNo(str5) << endl;
return 0;
}

if (panCardNo == null )
{
return false ;
}
Matcher m = p.matcher(panCardNo);
return m.matches();
}

Javascript
function isValidPanCardNo(panCardNo) {
let regex = new RegExp(/^[A-Z]{5}[0-9]{4}[A-Z]{1}$/);
if (panCardNo == null ) {
return "false" ;
}

return "true" ;
}
else {
return "false" ;
}
}
let str1 = "BOSPC9911H" ;
console.log(isValidPanCardNo(str1));
let str2 = "23ZAABN18J" ;
console.log(isValidPanCardNo(str2));
let str3 = "BNZAA2318JM" ;
console.log(isValidPanCardNo(str3));
let str4 = "BNZAA23184" ;
console.log(isValidPanCardNo(str4));
let str5 = "BNZAA 23184" ;
console.log(isValidPanCardNo(str5));

Output
true
false
false
false
false
Time Complexity: O(N) for each testcase, where N is the length of the given string.
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
