pana and ank in matka

A pana is a three-digit number. In matka the open pana and the close pana are both three digits. Each pana has an ank, which is a single digit between 0 and 9.

The ank is found by adding the three digits of the pana and keeping only the last digit of the total. For example, in 128 the digits add to 11, so the ank is 1.

Understanding pana and ank makes it easier to read any matka chart, including the London matka chart on this website.
