Identity
PAN Lite API
Get the registered name for a valid PAN, a lightweight check for name matching and bulk validation.
Overview
What the PAN Lite API does
PAN Lite returns the name registered against a PAN and nothing more.
The narrow scope is the point. Where you only need to confirm a PAN belongs to the person who gave it to you, pulling a full record collects personal data you have no use for and must then protect.
