Frequently Asked Questions
Common developer queries about integrating the PAN OCR & Verification API.
1. What is PAN OCR Verification API?
It is a hybrid solution that uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract data from a PAN card image and then validates those details against official government records in real-time.
2. Can the API detect blurred or low-quality images?
Yes, our API includes image pre-processing algorithms that enhance clarity. It returns a confidence score for the OCR extraction, allowing you to flag low-quality uploads for manual review.
3. Does it work for both Individual and Business PANs?
Absolutely. The API supports all PAN categories, including individuals, companies, firms, and trusts, extracting and verifying the entity type automatically.
4. How does the "Name Match" feature work?
The API compares the name extracted via OCR with the name registered in the IT Department database, providing a percentage-based match score to account for minor spelling variations.
5. Is the data extraction secure?
We utilize bank-grade encryption for all image uploads and data transmissions. We do not store sensitive user images on our servers after the processing is complete.
6. Which file formats are supported for OCR?
The API accepts standard image formats including JPEG, PNG, and PDF. Images can be sent as direct files or Base64 encoded strings.
7. Does the API check if the PAN is linked to Aadhaar?
Yes, the verification response includes a flag indicating the Aadhaar-seeding status of the PAN card, helping you stay compliant with current regulations.
8. What is the average API latency?
Our OCR engine and verification pipeline are built for speed, typically delivering structured JSON results in less than 2 seconds.
9. How do I handle API errors?
We provide standardized HTTP error codes (e.g., 400 for invalid input, 401 for auth issues) with detailed error messages in the JSON response body.
10. Can I test the API for free?
Yes, we offer a sandbox environment and trial credits for developers to test the OCR accuracy and verification speed before moving to production.
