## 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

1.  Primary identity verification during financial onboarding
    
2.  Confirming PAN validity and holder details before account opening
    
3.  Enriching a customer record from a single identifier
    
4.  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.
