# PAN checker

> Check that a PAN is well formed and see what kind of holder it is for.

A PAN is ten characters: five letters, four digits, a letter. The fourth letter tells the kind of holder: P for a person, C for a company, F for a firm, and so on.

This checks the structure only, not that the PAN was issued.
