Pan Aadhaar Link Status API
Check whether a PAN is linked to an Aadhaar number and get the current linkage status directly, since an unlinked PAN becomes inoperative for tax.
Overview
What the Pan Aadhaar Link Status API does
Pan Aadhaar Link Status answers one question: is this PAN linked to Aadhaar, and what is the current status.
