Question 1

Which countries does Government ID cover?

Accepted Answer

India only. Any other country is refused with GOVID_COUNTRY_NOT_SUPPORTED.

Question 2

Is this live DigiLocker?

Accepted Answer

No. Today it runs on a built-in sandbox simulator. The live connection is planned, needs approval from the body that runs DigiLocker, and stays locked until that exists.

Question 3

Do you store the document or the PAN?

Accepted Answer

No. A document is not kept beyond the transaction, and the PAN is checked in memory and answered masked. What stays is a yes or no, a name match, the last four digits of an Aadhaar, a masked PAN, your reference and timestamps.

Question 4

Can I check a company?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose the corporate subject type and give the company PAN. The check refuses a PAN whose holder category does not fit the subject.
