POSTBulk PAN Verification
Async batch PAN verification — submit multiple PANs in one call and poll for results via the Bulk PAN Status API.
Bulk PAN Verification accepts an array of PAN entries (each with a PAN number and optional name) in a single POST request and returns a reference_id for tracking. Because verification runs asynchronously, callers must subsequently poll the Bulk PAN Verification Status API with the returned reference_id to retrieve individual results. Suited for high-volume operations such as employee on-boarding, merchant KYC batches, or overnight reconciliation runs.
