India Utils: GSTIN, PAN and IFSC Tools

Validators for the identifiers Indian businesses deal with daily. The GSTIN tool verifies the real check digit rather than only the shape, so it catches a transposed character that looks perfectly normal. Everything runs in your browser except the IFSC branch lookup, which has to consult a live directory.

GSTIN Validator

Verify a GST number against its official check digit, and decode state, PAN and holder type.

PAN Card Format Validator

Check PAN structure and decode the holder type — individual, company, HUF, trust or firm.

IFSC Code Lookup

Validate an IFSC code and find the bank, branch, address, city and MICR code.

Which of these can actually be verified?

Worth knowing before you rely on any online checker, because the three identifiers are not equally checkable.

GSTIN carries a published check digit computed from the other fourteen characters. A number with one wrong or swapped character is arithmetically impossible, so this is a genuine verification rather than a format check.
PAN has no publicly documented check-digit algorithm. Only the format and the holder type encoded in the fourth character can be checked offline; issuance can be confirmed only by the Income Tax Department.
IFSC has no check digit either, so any correctly shaped code looks valid. The only real check is resolving it against the directory of registered branches — which is what our lookup does.

All three are also available to AI agents through our MCP server, so Claude, Cursor or your own agent can verify a number rather than produce a plausible-looking guess.
