PAN Comprehensive API
Retrieve extensive PAN card data for an individual, covering identity details, status and linked information in one call.
What the PAN Comprehensive API does
PAN Comprehensive returns the full set of data available against an individual's PAN, going well beyond confirming the number is valid.
PAN is the backbone identifier of Indian financial onboarding, and the comprehensive view is what most lenders and brokers standardise on. It supplies the identity details, current status and linked information needed to make a decision without chaining several calls together.
Where teams use the PAN Comprehensive API
Primary identity verification during financial onboarding
Confirming PAN validity and holder details before account opening
Enriching a customer record from a single identifier
Cross-checking declared identity against tax records
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How does this differ from PAN Lite?
PAN Lite returns just the registered name. Comprehensive returns the full data set, which is what most onboarding flows need.
Does it show Aadhaar linkage?
Use PAN Comprehensive with Aadhaar Check for linkage validation, or Pan Aadhaar Link Status for that question alone.
What if the PAN is inoperative?
Status is returned. An inoperative PAN, often from missing Aadhaar linkage, affects transactions and TDS and should block onboarding until resolved.
