Retrieve every company associated with a PAN — whether a business entity or a director — and surface the directorship links that matter for due diligence.
Overview
What the PAN to Company API does
FinHub's PAN-to-Company API resolves a PAN to the companies it's connected to, drawing on Ministry of Corporate Affairs data. For a director's PAN it maps every directorship; for an entity it confirms the company and its status. The result surfaces risk indicators — struck-off or defunct entities and cross-directorships — that shell structures and fronted directors tend to reveal, all sealed to an audit trail.
