Aadhaar to PAN API Retrieve PAN Information Using Aadhaar
Retrieve the PAN associated with an Aadhaar number through an API-based verification workflow. The API can help businesses automate KYC, customer onboarding, identity resolution, and compliance workflows without requiring manual PAN-Aadhaar checks.
PAN-Aadhaar linkage is based on matching identity information between the two records; UIDAI notes that name, gender, and date of birth are relevant to the linking process.

A current API implementation in the market similarly describes Aadhaar-to-PAN lookup as retrieving PAN information associated with Aadhaar and returning linkage/verification information.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Aadhaar to PAN API?
The Aadhaar to PAN API enables businesses to use an Aadhaar number as the input for retrieving available PAN information and checking the Aadhaar-PAN association.
What information does the API provide?
Depending on the underlying data source and implementation, the API can return the associated PAN, Aadhaar-PAN linkage status, request ID, and verification status.
Can I retrieve a PAN using only Aadhaar?
Where the underlying authorized service supports Aadhaar-to-PAN lookup, the Aadhaar number can be used as the lookup identifier. The exact availability of PAN information depends on the applicable data source and authorization.
Is Aadhaar-PAN linkage verified?
The API can return a linkage or verification result where supported. PAN-Aadhaar linkage involves matching relevant identity details between the records. UIDAI notes that name, gender, and date of birth are relevant to the linking process.
Is customer consent required?
Aadhaar information should be processed in accordance with applicable UIDAI, data-protection, and service-provider requirements. UIDAI states that requesting entities generally need to obtain individual consent before collecting identity information for authentication, subject to applicable provisions.
Is the complete Aadhaar number returned?
The production response should follow applicable privacy and security requirements. A masked Aadhaar representation can be used to minimize unnecessary exposure of the Aadhaar number.
Can this API be used for KYC?
Yes. It can be integrated as one component of KYC and identity-resolution workflows, alongside other applicable verification services.
