PAN To UAN API
Find the EPFO Universal Account Number (UAN) linked to a PAN in one API call.
What is the PAN To UAN API?
The BILAPI PAN to UAN API finds the EPFO Universal Account Number (UAN) linked to a PAN, letting you connect a person's PAN to their provident-fund / employment record for verification and underwriting.
It is used by lenders and background-verification platforms to confirm employment signals, de-duplicate applicants, and bridge PAN-based identity to EPFO employment history.
Pass a 10-character PAN and receive the linked UAN as JSON in milliseconds. Billed only on a successful lookup.
What the PAN To UAN 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 searched. |
uan | The EPFO UAN linked to the PAN. |
name | Name associated with the UAN, where available. |
status | Whether a UAN was found for the PAN. |
