For the staging environment use the UAT credentials only and for the production environment ake sure that you must have enable the service of PAN verification for your organisation on service_code = 4. Find the sample cURL request below:

curl --location --request PUT 'https://staging.eko.in:25004/ekoapi/v1/user/service/activate'
--header 'developer_key: becbbce45f79c6f5109f848acd540567'
--header 'secret-key: MC6dKW278tBef+AuqL/5rW2K3WgOegF0ZHLW/FriZQw='
--header 'secret-key-timestamp: 1516705204593'
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
--data-urlencode 'service_code=4'
--data-urlencode 'initiator_id=9971771929'
