If your company is based in the UAE, Southeast Asia, or anywhere outside India and you onboard, pay, or work with people and businesses in India, you still need to know they're real before you rely on them. Veriqos Technologies runs the same PAN, GST, Aadhaar, and bank-account checks used by Indian banks and fintechs - callable from wherever your team actually is.
A PAN card, a GST number, an Aadhaar number - none of it means anything to a compliance or finance team sitting in Dubai, Singapore, or Jakarta unless there's a way to actually check it against the source. Manually asking an Indian counterparty to send scanned documents doesn't tell you whether that PAN is active, whether that GST registration is real, or whether the bank account you're about to wire money to actually belongs to who they say it is. These are the same verification APIs Indian banks and fintechs already run in production - available over a standard REST API regardless of where your own systems are hosted.
Every link below goes to the real, live API documentation for that check.

Businesses outside India increasingly sell to, buy from and partner with Indian companies and individuals. The checks that make that safe are available digitally, but they rely on Indian records that work differently from those in other countries. This guide explains how to verify Indian counterparties using those records, what each one proves, and how to build the checks into your own onboarding.
India has built a set of national digital records that cover most businesses and many individuals: the PAN for tax identity, GST registration for businesses that trade, corporate registration for companies, and Udyam registration for small businesses. When you verify Indian counterparties against these records, you are checking information held by the issuing authorities, not documents the counterparty sends you.
For individuals, such as proprietors, directors or freelancers, PAN verification is usually the first step, because it confirms the tax identity and the name on record. Depending on the purpose and what the rules permit, further identity checks can confirm the person's identity and address from issuer records.
The most reliable way to verify Indian counterparties is to look for agreement between records. The PAN inside a GSTIN should match the business PAN; the legal name on the GST record should match the company name; addresses should be consistent. Agreement gives confidence; disagreement gives you a specific question to ask the counterparty.
Before paying an Indian supplier or partner, verify that the bank account belongs to them. Indian account verification returns the account holder's name, which you can compare with the verified business or individual name. This single check prevents many invoice and payment-redirection frauds.
Knowing these formats lets your team spot obvious errors before any check is run.
Digital checks return results in seconds, so you can verify Indian counterparties at any hour without waiting for Indian business hours or for documents to be couriered. That makes it practical to complete checks before a call ends or a contract is sent.
When you verify Indian counterparties, you handle personal and business data that is protected under Indian law, as well as under the rules in your own country. Collect only what your purpose needs, tell counterparties what you are checking and why, and keep records securely. Your own legal and compliance obligations apply regardless of where the counterparty is based, so treat these checks as evidence that supports your process rather than a substitute for it.
Start with the relationships where a mistake costs most, usually new suppliers you will pay or new partners you will extend credit to. Add checks there first, measure what they catch, and then extend them. To discuss how to verify Indian counterparties in your own workflow, talk to our team. Official GST registration information is published on the GST portal.
