🚧

Note that this change is not backward compatible.

Change in API Contract

  • The PAN Verification Advance API is now a POST request API with the new endpoint: https://api.sandbox.co.in/kyc/pan
  • Users will still be able to hit the previous endpoint of the API until 28th February 2023 before it is discontinued.

Introducing Caching

  • We will now have cached responses on the already verified PAN number for 24 hours.
  • This means that if the same PAN is verified again, you will receive a cached response.
  • You can identify the cached response with the X-Cache header.
  • No wallet charges will be levied on cached responses, however, usage will be counted.

Please refer to our Response Caching page here for more details
