Indian National ID & Tax Checksum Validator: Verhoeff Dihedral Group & Modulo-36 Standards

Client-side mathematical verification of 12-digit Aadhaar, 10-char PAN entity types, and 15-char GSTIN structures

The Verhoeff Checksum Algorithm (Dihedral Group D5)

The official UIDAI Indian Aadhaar number uses the Verhoeff algorithm, a sophisticated error-detection method based on the dihedral group D_5 (symmetries of a regular pentagon). Unlike standard Luhn (Mod 10) checks, Verhoeff catches 100% of single-digit transcription errors and 100% of adjacent transposition errors (e.g. typing 45 instead of 54). The calculation uses three lookup matrices: multiplication table D, permutation table P, and inverse table Inv. VedKit executes this full algebraic sequence locally in browser RAM.

Permanent Account Number (PAN) Anatomy & Entity Decoding

An Indian Income Tax PAN is a 10-character alphanumeric code structured as AAAAA0000A:

  • Chars 1–3: Alphabetic sequence from AAA to ZZZ.
  • Char 4 (Entity Status): P = Individual, C = Company, H = Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), F = Partnership Firm / LLP, A = Association of Persons, T = Trust, G = Government Agency.
  • Char 5: First letter of the individual taxpayer's surname or organization name.
  • Chars 6–9: Sequential sequential numeric digits (0001 to 9999).
  • Char 10: Alphabetic check digit.

Goods & Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN) Architecture

A 15-character Indian GSTIN comprises:

  1. 1Digits 1–2: Two-digit state census code (e.g. 27 for Maharashtra, 07 for Delhi, 29 for Karnataka).
  2. 2Chars 3–12: The 10-character PAN of the business entity.
  3. 3Char 13: Entity registration count within the state (1–9, then A–Z).
  4. 4Char 14: Default character Z (reserved for future use).
  5. 5Char 15: Modulo-36 alphanumeric check digit.

Compliance: DPDP Act 2023 & Aadhaar Act 2016

Transmitting employee or customer Aadhaar and PAN numbers to unverified external validation APIs constitutes an unauthorized personal data transfer under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act, 2023). VedKit performs all checksums and structural entity evaluations 100% client-side: zero packets are transmitted across the network.

Frequently Asked Questions (Sawal-Jawab)

Common questions and verified answers about Indian ID & Tax Checksum Validator (Aadhaar, PAN & GSTIN)

Does this tool connect to UIDAI or GST portal servers?
No. This tool validates the mathematical checksum, structural syntax, state code, and entity character locally. It does not check government databases or reveal personal names.
Why does an Aadhaar number fail the Verhoeff check if one digit is wrong?
Because the Verhoeff algorithm maps all digits through the non-commutative dihedral permutation group D5. Any single-digit alteration or adjacent swap produces a non-zero final residue, immediately catching typos.
Can I validate a bulk list of PAN or GSTIN numbers from Excel?
Yes! You can paste multiple rows or upload a CSV file in Batch Mode to audit hundreds of identifiers in seconds.
Is it legal to validate Aadhaar checksums in client-side JavaScript?
Yes. Verifying public mathematical checksum algorithms without storing biometric records or calling unauthorized identity databases is 100% compliant with the Aadhaar Act.
