Identity
Get PAN Essentials API
Retrieve a PAN holder's essential details, including name, date of birth and gender, to match a customer's identity against their PAN in seconds.
Overview
What the Get PAN Essentials API does
Get PAN Essentials returns the core identity attributes held against a PAN: name, date of birth and gender.
Date of birth is the field that makes this more useful than a name lookup. Names repeat constantly in India, and a name-plus-date-of-birth match is a far stronger identity assertion than either alone.
