Answer 1

This is perfect PAN number RegEx: :

String panNumber = "AAAPL1234C"; // get your editext value here
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("[A-Z]{3}[ABCFGHLJPTF]{1}[A-Z]{1}[0-9]{4}[A-Z]{1}");

Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(panNumber );
// Check if pattern matches 
if (matcher.matches()) {
    Log.i("Matching","Yes");
}

There are some condition for PAN number as follow :

The PAN (or PAN number) is a ten-character long alpha-numeric unique identifier.

The PAN structure is as follows: AAAPL1234C:

The first five characters are letters (in uppercase by default), followed by four numerals, and the last (tenth) character is a letter. The first three characters of the code are three letters forming a sequence of alphabets letters from AAA to ZZZ

The fourth character identifies the type of holder of the card. Each holder type is uniquely defined by a letter from the list below:

• A — Association of persons (AOP)
• B — Body of individuals (BOI)
• C — Company
• F — Firm
• G — Government
• H — HUF (Hindu undivided family)
• L — Local authority
• J — Artificial juridical person
• P — Individual (proprietor)
• T — Trust (AOP)
• F – LLP (limited liability partnership)

The fifth character of the PAN is the first character of either:

• of the surname or last name of the person, in the case of a "personal" PAN card, where the fourth character is "P" or
• of the name of the entity, trust, society, or organisation in the case of a company/HUF/firm/AOP/trust/BOI/local authority/artificial judicial person/government, where the fourth character is "C", "H", "F", "A", "T", "B", "L", "J", "G". The last (tenth) character is an alphabetic digit used as a check-sum to verify the
