MSME vendor check before payment: PAN to Udyam and GST

Finance and procurement teams are often asked to treat a supplier as a micro, small or medium enterprise. Payment terms, vendor master records and audit files can depend on that status. This page sets out a short checklist for confirming it before you release a payment, using two checks on VerifyAll: PAN to Udyam and GST Verification.

Why check MSME status at payables

• A supplier may quote a Udyam number on an invoice or in an onboarding form. A stored copy of that number is not a check.
• The PAN on the vendor master is the one identifier you already hold for every supplier.
• A GSTIN contains the PAN, so the two checks can be run on the same vendor record.
• Doing the check at onboarding, and again before a large payment, leaves a dated record in your files.

The checklist

1. Take the supplier's PAN and GSTIN from the signed vendor form, not from an email signature.
2. Run GST Verification on the GSTIN. The result shows the registration details returned for it, so you can compare the legal name and status with the vendor form.
3. Run PAN to Udyam on the PAN. It looks up the Udyam registration linked to that PAN and shows the registration details when one exists.
4. Compare the name on both results with the name on the invoice and the bank account holder.
5. Save the result with its reference. Every report carries a reference anyone can verify, and shows the date and time it was checked.
6. If the result says no record, do not treat it as proof that the supplier is not an MSME. Ask the supplier for its registration details and run the check again.

What a result contains

• PAN to Udyam: the Udyam registration linked to the PAN, with the registration details, when a record exists. If no record is found, the result says so.
• GST Verification: the registration details for the GSTIN, to compare with your vendor form.
• Every result shows the date and time of the check and a reference.

Turnaround

Both are lookups, run on request. PAN to Udyam usually takes 10 to 15 seconds. Bulk jobs depend on the size of the file.

Checking a full vendor list

If you have hundreds of suppliers, use bulk upload. Upload a CSV of PANs for Bulk PAN to Udyam, or a CSV of GSTINs for Bulk GST Verification, and download the results when the job completes.

Who can run these checks

Checking a supplier's PAN or GSTIN needs a business account. Business accounts submit company details and are approved before any report runs. A personal account can run PAN to Udyam and GST only on the account holder's own PAN.

Price

There is no subscription. Each check is charged at its own rate from your prepaid wallet. The rate card in the dashboard shows every price.

FAQ

Can I check a vendor's MSME status with only its PAN?

Yes, with a business account. Enter the PAN in PAN to Udyam. If an Udyam registration is linked to it, the result shows the registration details.

Does a GST check show MSME status?

No. GST Verification shows the GST registration details. Use PAN to Udyam for the Udyam registration, and run both on the same vendor.

Am I charged if no record is found?

Each check is charged at its own rate from the wallet. Write to support@verifyall.ai if you were charged for a result you believe is wrong, and we will look at it.
