Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about NSDL PAN Creation and PAN Correction APIs.

What is NSDL PAN API?

NSDL PAN API is a suite of secure REST endpoints that lets platforms submit new PAN card applications, request PAN corrections, upload documents, and track application status directly through NSDL-authorised workflows.

How does PAN Creation API work?

You collect applicant details and documents, send a signed JSON payload to /v1/pan/create, and receive an acknowledgement number that can be used to track the PAN application until issuance.

How does PAN Correction API work?

The Correction API accepts the existing PAN number, the fields to be corrected, and supporting documents, submits a Change Request to NSDL, and returns a tracking token.

How can I integrate PAN APIs?

Sign up, generate API keys from the dashboard, and use our official SDKs for Node.js, Python, PHP, and Java — or call the REST endpoints directly with any HTTP client.

Do you provide sandbox access?

Yes. Every account gets a free sandbox environment with test credentials, mock NSDL responses, and unlimited test calls to validate your integration end-to-end.

Is the API secure?

All endpoints use TLS 1.3, HMAC-signed requests, IP whitelisting, and encrypted document upload. Our infrastructure is ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 aligned.

How do I track a PAN application status?

Call GET /v1/pan/track/<ack_no> to poll status, or configure a webhook URL when creating the application to receive real-time push updates.

Can I upload documents through the API?

Yes. Documents (POI, POA, POB, photograph, signature) can be uploaded via the encrypted multipart /v1/documents/upload endpoint and referenced by their document ID.

Do you provide webhooks?

Yes. Configure webhook URLs per environment and receive signed events for every application stage — submitted, verified, dispatched, and issued.

Which programming languages are supported?

We publish official SDKs for Node.js, Python, PHP, and Java. Any language with an HTTP client can consume the REST APIs.

What is the average API response time?

Median response time is under 200ms across regions, with 99.99% uptime backed by an enterprise SLA.

How is authentication handled?

Each request must include a Bearer API key, and sensitive endpoints additionally require HMAC signatures with optional IP whitelisting and OAuth 2.0 for partner scopes.

Can I do PAN reprint via API?

Yes. Use POST /v1/pan/reprint with an existing PAN number and updated address to request a duplicate physical card.

Is e-PAN download supported?

Yes. Verified applicants can fetch the digitally signed e-PAN PDF via GET /v1/pan/epan once NSDL issues the card.

Do you support both Form 49A and Form 49AA?

Yes. Indian citizens use Form 49A and foreign citizens use Form 49AA. The API auto-selects the form based on the applicant category.

What acceptable document types can be uploaded?

Aadhaar, Voter ID, Passport, Driving Licence, and other NSDL-approved POI/POA documents in PDF, JPG, or PNG format up to 2 MB.

Do you provide bulk / batch APIs?

Enterprise plans include batch endpoints that accept up to 500 applications per call with per-record status callbacks.

How is pricing structured?

Transparent pay-per-application pricing with volume slabs. Contact sales for enterprise SLAs, dedicated infra, and negotiated rates.

Is there rate limiting?

Default limits are generous — 100 rps on production and 20 rps on sandbox. Enterprise plans can request higher limits.

How do I contact support?

Email [email protected] or call +91 8684018330. Enterprise plans include Slack Connect and a dedicated CSM.
