NSDL eKYC API (Electronic Know Your Customer API) is an API provided by NSDL e-Governance Infrastructure Limited (NSDL e-Gov) in India that allows developers to integrate PAN (Permanent Account Number) card verification functionality into their platforms. The API enables users to verify their PAN card details, such as their name, date of birth, and PAN number, through an electronic process, rather than having to provide a physical copy of their PAN card.
The API uses the eKYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) process, which is a secure and efficient way of verifying the identity of users. The API provides a set of protocols and interfaces that developers can use to communicate with the NSDL eKYC system and initiate PAN card verification requests. The API returns a response to the developer, indicating whether the PAN card details provided by the user match the details in the NSDL database.
To use the NSDL eKYC API, developers need to register with NSDL e-Gov and obtain API keys, which are used to make API calls to the NSDL eKYC system. The API provider then facilitates the communication between the developer’s platform and the NSDL eKYC system, ensuring that the transactions are processed in a secure and compliant manner.
NSDL eKYC API can be used by various types of platforms, including mobile applications, web-based platforms, and more, to provide PAN card verification services to users in an easy and convenient manner. This can help to simplify the process of PAN card verification and reduce the time and effort required to verify PAN card details.
