Is e-PAN accepted for vKYC?

[CyberPsych]

My PAN card number is worn off in my original PAN. Since I am no longer in the original address, I have requested address change through UTI and it is successfully completed. But when I try to reprint, it says "Reprint PAN card facility will be made available shortly for the case where Address is updated through eKYC mode". One of my who faced the same error said it will take 30-45 days time (?) to be able to reprint PAN. Over that it will take 7 days (?) to deliver. So, for banking purpose like credit card, digital account opening, vKYC is mandatory and the banking pages will show "keep your original PAN with you". I have downloaded e-PAN card successfully. Even though e-PAN is as same as the original PAN, will all banks/agents accept e-PAN as valid without rejecting application? I have planned to take a print out of e-PAN and laminate it.

My brother has been using it when applying for a credit card, opening bank accounts, and even for VKYC, and so far, he hasn't faced any issues. So, it's acceptable. Also, he has laminated it.

E-Pan contains all the information of postal Pan and also looks the same minus the hologram instead has QR code. If you laminate it, better print it on PVC it is practically a Pan card. Same goes for e-Aadhaar and e-Epic card.

better print it on PVC

Ok, I try to get it in PVC.

instead has QR code.

I tried to download PAN QR code reader to see what details are linked to QR code and found this in Google PlayStore search result 🥴

make sure you aren't downloading any fake app. there's an official app for this.

also, digilocker pan card is also acceptable in vkyc.

When shown digitally in a different phone to the phone I am attending vKYC in?

yes you can show the screen of another device where the downloaded digilocker pdf is visible. they'll take a screenshot, so you'll have to hold it pretty close to the camera & focus properly

In my experience, ICICI agent had said only physical pan card is allowed.

I had applied for Apay ICICI and left the application in mid before vKYC. ICICI called me to schedule vKYC and i had asked about vitual/E-Pan . He said only signed physical card is allowed.

Do let us know if it works for you.

Same here. IDFC Credit card vKYC denied my e-PAN. I asked them to send a written communication that they don't accept ePAN. They disconnected the session. 🤷‍♀️

You ask them for physical kyc they will visit your resi or office and complete it via using bio metric.

Get a physical PAN, it hardly takes 5 days to deliver, and costs Rs50-100.

just 50 rs

just 50 rs

Should have been free for IT payers considering the amount of tax govt sucks from us

they don't charge much. the major part of that 50rs is the speed post charges paid to india post

Even if they didn't charge you, it'd be paid from your taxes.

And then you'd be paying for a thousand others who don't pay much taxes but need PAN card.

Better pay 50 for yourself than 500 for 10 others.

My Experience with ICICI Saving Account VKYC and SBI Credit Card VKYC they didn't accept the E-Pan Card ( laminated )
So I applied for a PAN Reprint, which was delivered within 7 days.

Strange, I guess PAN card showed in VKYC is to verify the PAN number, your face which is same 😕 Did they say why it is not accepted?
