What the Income Verification API does

With consent, the API pulls the last filed returns and TDS credits and, optionally, salary credits from consented bank data, then reconciles them into an annual income estimate and a confidence score.

Consent is part of the contract

The person consents to income data access through the OTP or Account Aggregator step that starts the flow.

Benefits of the Income Verification API

Verify declared income from tax filings and salary credits with the person's consent.

Income you can underwrite

Filed and credited numbers, not a payslip PDF.

Evidence attached

Every estimate names its sources.
