PAN–Aadhaar Link Status API
Find out whether a PAN is linked to an Aadhaar number.
What the PAN–Aadhaar Link Status API does
The PAN–Aadhaar Link Status API tells you whether a PAN is linked to the given Aadhaar, with a definitive linked: true or linked: false. An unlinked PAN can become inoperative for tax purposes, so lenders and payers check it before they rely on the PAN. Individual PANs only: a company PAN has no Aadhaar and is rejected with a clear message, not charged.
Popular use cases
- →Flag inoperative PANs before TDS deduction or payouts
- →KYC completeness checks in lending and broking
- →Bulk hygiene checks on an existing customer base
