Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about integrating the PAN 206AB Compliance API.
1. What does the 206AB Compliance API actually verify?
The API checks the Income Tax Department database to identify "Specified Persons" who haven't filed their returns for the relevant years, helping you decide whether to deduct TDS/TCS at normal or higher rates.
