Validate a [Postal Index Number][wiki] for India with a regex. The regexes are available in `regex.txt`. There are 2 regexes. The first validates PINs starting from 1-4, and the second validates the ones starting from 5-8. The reason for the split is to keep the regex size small. Currently they are both at 16K each.
