How this service works
The India data layer for AI agents. Pay only for the calls you make — no API keys, no accounts, no minimums, no rate limits. One x402 origin covering Indian weather (forecasts, monsoon), markets (stocks, indices, F&O with Black-Scholes Greeks, historical, mutual funds), RBI macro, identity/format verification (IFSC, pincode, GSTIN), NSE market holidays, panchang (Hindu almanac), and live cricket scores. Settle per call in USDC on Base.
Output
Returns a JSON object confirming the PAN string, a boolean validity flag, the holder type (e.g. Individual, Company, HUF, Firm, AOP, BOI, Local Authority, Artificial Juridical Person, Government), and the name initial character encoded in the PAN.
Example use cases
KYC onboarding PAN validation
“Before I submit this user's PAN BCDFE5678G to the KYC pipeline, can you verify it's correctly formatted and tell me the holder type?”
Bulk user registration pre-check
“A new user just entered PANF7890K as their tax ID during signup — can you quickly check if that PAN format is valid so I know whether to flag it for review?”
Finance app identity enrichment
“I have the PAN AAACW1234D from a business account application — is the format valid, and is it registered to a company or an individual?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://gateway.hillguava.xyz/verify/pan-format/%7Bnumber%7DWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, no-account, pay-per-call format check on an Indian PAN number — particularly useful during onboarding flows, KYC pre-validation, or any workflow where you need to confirm PAN structure and derive holder type without hitting a government database. Prefer it over full government NSDL/UTI PAN verification when format validation alone is sufficient, cost matters per call, and you want to avoid API key management.
Side effects
- PAN string missing or malformed path parameter returns an error
- PAN that does not match the standard 10-character alphanumeric regex is flagged as invalid
- Payment not settled in USDC on Base results in 402 response blocking access
- Unexpected characters or lowercase input may cause parsing failure
