## What the Current Employment Details API does

Current Employment Details answers the question underwriters ask first: is this applicant employed, and by whom. It returns the present employer, the role on record, the employment type and how long the person has been in the job.

Because it draws on provident fund filings rather than documents the applicant supplies, it is resistant to the forged offer letters and edited payslips that turn up regularly in lending applications.

## Where teams use the Current Employment Details API

1.  Confirming employment before approving a salaried loan
    
2.  Checking job stability and tenure in credit decisioning
    
3.  Screening candidates during background verification
    
4.  Validating a declared employer against an independent source
    

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How current is the data?

It reflects the most recent provident fund filing, so it lags by up to a monthly cycle. Someone who started a job days ago may not appear yet.

Does it cover everyone who is employed?

No. It covers employees whose employers file provident fund contributions. Contractors, gig workers and staff at very small firms often will not appear.

Does it show salary?

Not directly. It returns employment facts; contribution amounts visible through the passbook endpoints give an indirect signal of salary band.
