About the PAN Status Validation API

The Fastest PAN Check You Can Run

Veriqos PAN Active/Inactive Status Validation API answers one question as fast as possible: is this PAN active and valid. At under 150ms it's built for high-volume pre-screening, filtering out invalid or inactive PANs before they reach a heavier, more detailed verification call.

Filter Bad Input Early

Rejecting an inactive PAN at the first step avoids wasting a heavier verification call on data that was never going to pass.

Cut Verification Costs at Scale

Running a cheap status check before a comprehensive one keeps per-applicant verification cost down at high volume.

How the PAN Status Validation API works

Security &
Compliance

With strict security controls and reliable verification logic, the PAN Status Validation API keeps every check safe at every step.

  • Protected Data Handling: PAN numbers are encrypted in transit and at rest throughout the verification process.
  • Trusted Source Checks: Every status is validated against official records rather than cached or third-hand data.
  • Access Control Measures: Scoped API keys and IP allow-listing ensure only authorised systems can call the endpoint.
  • Full Audit Trail: Every check is logged with a timestamp so compliance reviews can reconstruct any decision.

Why Choose Us

The Fastest PAN Signal Available

panStatus and isValid return in under 150ms, built to sit ahead of a heavier verification call without adding noticeable latency.

Built for Pre-Screening, Not Depth

Deliberately returns only status and validity, so it stays fast at high volume instead of trying to be a full identity check.

Cuts Cost at Scale

Filtering bad PANs out with a cheap status check before running a deeper, costlier verification keeps per-applicant cost down.

Clear Upgrade Path

When a PAN passes this check, route it to PAN Standard Verification or PAN Complete Profile for name and identity detail.

Minimal, Predictable Response

Just two fields come back, so the integration and error handling stay simple.

When to call the PAN status validation API

The PAN status validation API is a quick, inexpensive check, so the best place for it is early in the journey, before any heavier verification runs. It filters out numbers that are mistyped or not usable, so the rest of your checks spend their effort on real applicants.

A typical sequence

  1. Check the PAN format in the form itself as the customer types.
  2. Call the PAN status validation API when the form is submitted.
  3. Only if the PAN is valid and active, run name matching or deeper PAN checks.

Handling a failed check

Show a clear message asking the customer to re-check the number, rather than a generic error. Many failures are simple typos, and a precise prompt recovers most of them without support involvement.

Where the PAN status validation API saves time

Call the PAN status validation API as the very first step of a PAN-based flow: if the PAN is invalid or inactive, there is no point running heavier checks. Because the PAN status validation API is the fastest check in the suite, it works well as a pre-screen inside a signup form.
