PAN Details Fetch API
Fetch the complete holder details behind a PAN in a single real-time API call.
What is the PAN Details Fetch API?
The BILAPI PAN Details Fetch API returns the complete set of holder details registered against a PAN — full name, category, status and associated signals — in real time, so you can validate and enrich a customer or vendor from just their PAN.
It is used across KYC, tax compliance and vendor-onboarding flows wherever you need more than a simple valid/invalid check and want the actual registered details to pre-fill and cross-verify.
Send a 10-character PAN and receive a structured JSON response in milliseconds. Billed only on a successful lookup.
What the PAN Details Fetch API returns
Every successful call returns a clean, predictable JSON envelope. The data object includes the fields below (exact fields vary by record availability).
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
pan | The PAN that was fetched. |
full_name | Registered full name of the PAN holder. |
category | Holder type — Individual, Company, HUF, Firm, Trust, etc. |
status | Whether the PAN is valid and active. |
aadhaar_linked | PAN–Aadhaar link status, where available. |
last_updated | When the record was last refreshed. |

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from basic PAN verification?
Basic verification confirms whether a PAN is valid; the PAN Details Fetch API returns the full registered details — name, category, status and link signals — so you can enrich and cross-verify, not just validate.
What is the input?
A single 10-character PAN, for example ABCDE1234F.
Does it show PAN-Aadhaar link status?
Where available, the response includes the PAN–Aadhaar link status so you can confirm compliance.
How fast is it?
Most lookups complete in well under 300ms at the median, suitable for inline onboarding.
Do failed lookups cost money?
No — you are billed only for successful responses, and a free sandbox is included.
