Overview

What the PAN Detail Verification API does

Where PAN Verification answers "is this PAN genuine and does the name match", PAN Detail returns the underlying profile: the registered name split into parts, father's name, date of birth, gender, the PAN category (individual, company, firm, trust) and whether it is linked to Aadhaar.

Use it when you need the attributes themselves — to pre-fill a KYC form, to compare against a declared date of birth, or to establish the entity type before choosing a KYB flow.

Benefits

Why teams use the PAN Detail Verification API

The full profile behind a PAN: name, father's name, date of birth, gender, category and Aadhaar seeding.

Auto-fill onboarding

Populate name, DOB and gender straight from the record instead of asking the person to type them.

Entity type up front

The category tells you whether you are onboarding a person or a business before the next step.

Stronger identity match

Compare father's name and date of birth, not just the name, to catch look-alike PANs.

FAQ

PAN Detail Verification API: frequently asked questions

What teams ask before adding the PAN Detail Verification API to their integration.

PAN Verification validates the number and matches a name you supply. PAN Detail returns the full profile held on record, including father's name, date of birth, gender and category.

No. Address is not part of the PAN record exposed to verifiers; use a DigiLocker or Aadhaar-based check for address.
