## How should you choose?

1. Decide whether you need a live API call per PAN or a bulk report over a list of PANs.
2. Check what comes back per GSTIN: legal name, state, status and whether filing history is included.
3. Compare per-call prices at your volume: published rates run from about INR 0.40 to INR 3 per PAN lookup in this review.
4. Test a few PANs you know, since older registrations and recent ones are not always returned the same way.
5. If an AI agent will run the lookup, prefer a public MCP server with OAuth sign-in.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the best PAN to GST APIs in India?

IndiaCos ranks first for PAN to GST APIs on the JurisGrid rubric: GET /pan/{PAN} returns every GST registration under a PAN at INR 0.40 per successful call. Infyner, Message Central, GSTIN API and Arya.ai also offer a PAN to GSTIN lookup, with prices from INR 0.60 to INR 2.99. Match the choice to your use case.

### What does a PAN to GSTIN API return?

A PAN to GSTIN API takes a PAN and returns the GST registrations held under it, usually the GSTIN, state, legal name and status. A business can hold one GSTIN per state, so one PAN can map to many registrations. Fields vary by provider, so test with your own PANs before you integrate.

### Which PAN to GST APIs in India have an MCP server?

IndiaCos lists a public MCP server in this review. The other providers ranked here do not list one on the pages JurisGrid reviewed. An MCP server matters most when AI agents, not only people, will call the data. Check each provider's tool list before relying on it, since tool counts and billing differ.

### Which PAN to GST APIs in India publish prices?

IndiaCos, Infyner, Message Central (eKYC Now) and OCTA GST publish prices in this review. The others quote on request, sell by subscription without a price list or publish nothing on the pages reviewed. Published prices let you estimate a bill before you contact anyone. Prices change, so confirm them on the provider's pricing page.

### Which PAN to GST APIs in India can you start using without a sales call?

IndiaCos, InstaFinancials and GSTIN API offer self-serve sign-up in this review. IndiaCos gives INR 50 free credit on signup. Providers that route sign-up through sales may still be strong choices for managed or enterprise needs. Sign-up routes change, so confirm them on each provider's site.

### How does JurisGrid rank PAN to GST APIs in India?

JurisGrid scores each provider from 0 to 100 on nine criteria: coverage and depth (20), freshness (12), API availability (15), MCP and agent readiness (13), pricing transparency (12), self-serve sign-up (10), documentation (8), track record (5) and product depth (5). Rankings follow the score and use only public evidence.
