Overview

Verify PAN using Advance API by providing pan and receiving additional details such as first_name,last_name, full_name(when available), last_updated date of PAN, and aadhaar_seeding_status.

Problem

Verifying PAN details of an individual is an important step in KYC.
NBFCs, banks, lending platforms, and insurance companies require a valid PAN with Aadhaar seeding status as part of their onboarding journey.
HRMS platforms also require a valid PAN to add employees to the payroll.
Businesses can only verify one PAN at a time by visiting the ITD website, making it time-consuming, error-prone & expensive

Provides additional details necessary for a thorough KYC
