What PAN Verification Is Used For

Financial KYC

Validate a PAN before opening a broking, lending or insurance account, and confirm the holder name matches the application.

Tax compliance and TDS

Check PAN status and category before deducting TDS, so you apply the right rate and avoid a higher-rate penalty.

Vendor and merchant onboarding

Verify the PAN of a seller or supplier before the first payout to keep your payables ledger clean.

Aadhaar seeding checks

Read the Aadhaar seeding status to see whether a PAN is at risk of becoming inoperative.
