🇮🇳 Bogus.India

India-specific fake data generator extension for Bogus. Generate realistic Indian names, Aadhaar numbers, PAN cards, UPI IDs, IFSC codes, phone numbers, addresses, and more — all in a single NuGet package.

📦 Installation

Or via the NuGet Package Manager:

Install-Package BogusData.India

🚀 Quick Start

using Bogus;
using Bogus.India;

// Simple usage
var faker = new Faker();
Console.WriteLine(faker.India().FullName());        // "Arjun Sharma"
Console.WriteLine(faker.India().Aadhaar());         // "4832 7591 6204"
Console.WriteLine(faker.India().Pan());             // "BQKPS4271R"
Console.WriteLine(faker.India().MobileNumber());    // "+91 98765 43210"
Console.WriteLine(faker.India().UpiId());           // "arjun.sharma@upi"
Console.WriteLine(faker.India().IfscCode());        // "HDFC0012345"
Console.WriteLine(faker.India().FullAddress());     // "42, Nehru Nagar, MG Road, Pune, Maharashtra - 411001"

// Use with Faker<T> for typed object generation
var personFaker = new Faker<Student>()
    .RuleFor(s => s.Name, f => f.India().FullName())
    .RuleFor(s => s.Aadhaar, f => f.India().Aadhaar())
    .RuleFor(s => s.Pan, f => f.India().Pan())
    .RuleFor(s => s.Phone, f => f.India().MobileNumber())
    .RuleFor(s => s.Address, f => f.India().FullAddress())
    .RuleFor(s => s.Upi, f => f.India().UpiId())
    .RuleFor(s => s.Bank, f => f.India().BankName())
    .RuleFor(s => s.Ifsc, f => f.India().IfscCode());

var students = personFaker.Generate(100);
