Replace prefix-oriented regex matching in the Indian PAN validator with
re.fullmatch, ensuring that otherwise valid PAN prefixes followed by arbitrary trailing data are rejected.ind_pan()currently usesre.match(r"[A-Z]{5}\\d{4}[A-Z]{1}", value), which is not end-anchored. Any string that merely begins with a syntactically valid 10-character PAN is accepted, even with arbitrary trailing characters (e.g."ABCDE9999Kextra","ABCDE9999K "). The neighboringind_aadharvalidator in the same file is already end-anchored, so this looks like an unintentional asymmetry rather than deliberate prefix matching.This is a small, low-risk change (one line) plus two additional regression cases added to the existing parametrized test in
tests/i18n/test_ind.py. Full test file passes locally (12/12).
