## What the Pan Aadhaar Link Verify API does

Pan Aadhaar Link Verify confirms whether a specific PAN and Aadhaar pair are actually linked, rather than reporting linkage in general.

This is the check for a customer who has given you both numbers. It confirms not just that the PAN is linked to something, but that it is linked to the Aadhaar they claim, which is a meaningfully different assertion.

## Where teams use the Pan Aadhaar Link Verify API

1.  Verifying a customer-declared PAN and Aadhaar pair
    
2.  Detecting mismatched identity documents
    
3.  Confirming linkage for a specific Aadhaar
    
4.  Strengthening identity checks in high-risk onboarding
    

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does this differ from the status check?

Status reports whether the PAN is linked at all. This verifies it is linked to the particular Aadhaar you supply.

What does a failed verification indicate?

The documents belong to different linkage records. That may be an error, or it may signal one document does not belong to the customer.

Which is more rigorous?

This one, because it tests the pair rather than the PAN in isolation.
