Can we give role parameter the value of pending in wp_insert_user ?

This'll assign a custom role pending. – amit Aug 10 '12 at 7:37
mean do i have to use add_role first ?? and if i have to then can you please tell me that i don't want to give any capability should i just leave the third parameter of add_role empty or anything else? – PhpSeeker Aug 10 '12 at 7:49
yes, make a role called pending without third parameter $capabilities. and while using wp_insert_user() pass role as pending. – amit Aug 10 '12 at 8:21

You cannot set a value as pending ( left the role parameter blank ) to not enter a user role value into database using function - wp_insert_user().

See - wp-includes/user.php # L1363

NOTE -

wp_insert_user() function sets a default role if you do not provide any role parameter, So if you want to register a user without any capabilities, I think there's only way is register a new role called pending without capabilities and use it while calling wp_insert_user() functions.
