How to Read a Matka Chart

Matka charts look dense, but they follow a simple pattern: one row per week, one column per day. This guide explains the jodi chart, the panel chart, the red numbers, and the terms you will see around them.

The Jodi Chart

A jodi chart records only the two-digit jodi for each day. Each row is one week starting on Monday, and the columns are the days the market runs (Mon–Sat for Kalyan, Mon–Fri for Main Bazar, all seven days for some markets).

In this example week, Monday's jodi was 24: the open panna's digits added up to a number ending in 2 and the close panna's to one ending in 4. Open any market's jodi chart, for example the Kalyan chart, to see its complete record.

The Panel Chart

A panel chart (also written "penal chart" or called a patti chart) shows the full result for each day in three cells: the open panna, the jodi, and the close panna. Pannas are printed top to bottom, so a cell reading 6 / 7 / 9 is the panna 679.

Check Monday: 6 + 7 + 9 = 22 (ank 2) and 4 + 5 + 5 = 14 (ank 4), giving jodi 24. Every correct result passes this check, which is how we validate each number before publishing.

Why Some Numbers Are Red

By convention, charts colour a jodi red when its digits are the same (00, 11, 22 … 99) or when they differ by exactly 5 – a "cut" pair (05, 50, 16, 61, 27, 72, 38, 83, 49, 94). There are 20 such jodis out of 100. Red is only a visual marker; those results are no more or less likely than any other.

Common Matka Terms

Open / Close

The first and second declaration of the day for a market.

Ank (single)

One digit, 0–9: the last digit of a panna's digit sum.

Jodi (pair)

The open ank and close ank together, 00–99.

Panna / Patti / Panel

The three-digit number declared at open or close. There are 220 valid pannas – see the 220 patti chart.

SP / DP / TP

Single patti (three different digits, e.g. 128), double patti (one digit repeated, e.g. 550) and triple patti (e.g. 777).

Cut

A digit's partner five places away: 0↔5, 1↔6, 2↔7, 3↔8, 4↔9.

Farak

The difference between the open ank and the close ank (jodi 72 has a farak of 5).

Berij

The last digit of the jodi's digit sum (76 → 7 + 6 = 13 → 3).

Cycle patti

The last two digits of a panna.

Sangam

A combination of a panna with an ank (half sangam) or of both pannas (full sangam).

**, ***

No result that day – usually a market holiday.

What Charts Can and Cannot Tell You

A chart is a record of what has already been declared. It is useful for checking a past result or seeing how a market has behaved, but it cannot predict the next result: each draw is independent of the ones before it. Be wary of anyone who claims to read a "pattern" and sells you the next number – see how fix-game scams work.
