Answer
The PAN and TAN application portal offers a DSC mode, where the form is signed online with a certificate instead of being printed and posted. A TAN application signed with a DSC needs no documents sent at all, and a PAN application in DSC mode is paperless. We fill and submit the application for you; you do the Aadhaar OTP and video KYC with the Certifying Authority, which issues the certificate. Application support is included in the price.

What does a DSC based PAN application mean?
It is the mode where the online application is signed with a digital signature certificate instead of the applicant signing on paper and sending it in.
Is a DSC required for a TAN application?
No. It is one of the modes the portal offers. With a DSC no documents are sent, which is the point of using it.
Whose name must be on the certificate?
The applicant's name on a PAN application, and the verifier's name on a TAN application. For a minor, the representative assessee signs.
Which class of DSC does the portal accept?
Class 2 or Class 3. We issue Class 3 signing, which the portal accepts.
Can a partnership firm apply for PAN with a DSC?
Yes. The partner who signs the application signs with a certificate in their own name.
