Looking for an NSDL paperless centre option to accept PAN applications or help customers with digital PAN workflows?

What is an NSDL paperless centre?
An NSDL paperless centre generally refers to a digital channel or partner location that accepts PAN-related requests without relying on physical paperwork. These centres can use electronic document collection, digital signatures, or online verification workflows. SMRPAN helps connect businesses and customers with suitable workflows and tools to manage those digital PAN processes efficiently.
Who benefits from NSDL paperless centre workflows?
- Service counters and agents who want a digital intake process.
- Businesses handling multiple PAN applications and needing transaction records.
- Customers who prefer a partially or fully digital PAN application experience.

Typical paperless PAN process — step by step
The exact steps depend on the service provider and current official rules. Use this as a practical workflow to prepare staff and customers for a paperless PAN intake.
- Account setup: Register your counter or business on SMRPAN and configure which PAN workflows you will offer (NSDL, UTI or both where supported).
- Customer intake: Capture customer details securely using the SMRPAN intake form at the counter or via a web link.
- Document upload: Collect digital copies of identity and address documents. Verify copies are legible and meet the provider's latest guidance.
- Verification method: Follow the chosen verification path — e-kyc/e-sign or document-based verification — as permitted by the service provider. Verify the current verification options before proceeding.
- Submit application: Use the service workflow to submit the application to the provider. Save transaction reference numbers and receipts.
- Track & notify: Monitor status via SMRPAN tools and notify the customer when the application moves stages or when additional action is required.
- Recordkeeping: Keep a copy of the transaction record and communication history in your SMRPAN account for future support and audit needs.
Operational tips for service counters
