What is the CSC Digital Seva Portal

The CSC Digital Seva Portal is an online platform that supports the network of Village-Level Entrepreneurs (VLEs) operating through Common Service Centres (CSCs) across India. Through this portal, VLEs register, access their dashboard, and deliver both government-services and private-sector services to citizens.
In short, it is the “central hub” that enables a local centre to become a digital access point for services like Aadhaar, PAN, bill payments, banking, education, insurance and more.

Who can register & why

  • The primary users for registration are VLEs (Village Level Entrepreneurs) who wish to open or operate a CSC in their area.
  • Basic eligibility includes: being at least 18 years of age, resident in the same area where you plan the centre, having a valid mobile number, email, bank account, 10th standard pass (typically) and documents like Aadhaar/identity proof.
  • Registering allows you to gain a unique CSC ID, log into the Digital Seva Portal, and begin delivering services.

How to Register (Step-by-Step)

Here is a simplified step-by-step process for registering as a VLE on the portal:

  1. Visit the official registration page:https://register.csc.gov.in/
  2. Click on “Click here to Register” under the VLE Registration section.
  3. Enter your mobile number, email and CAPTCHA, then submit to receive an OTP for verification.
  4. Fill in your personal details (name, DOB, gender etc), address, bank account details, photo, and upload required documents such as identity proof, address proof, cancelled cheque etc.
  5. After submission, you receive an application reference ID. Save it for tracking your registration status.
  6. You can check your application status by entering the reference ID on the status page.
  7. Upon approval, you will receive your CSC ID (login credentials) via email or SMS.

Note: Registration is currently free of cost.

How to Log In to the Portal

  • Go to the login page of the Digital Seva Portal:
  • Enter your username, password, and Captcha.
  • After successful login you will reach your dashboard where you can view your profile, services menu, track applications, and access service modules.

Services Provided via the Portal

The Digital Seva Portal supports a wide range of services.

Some of the major categories and examples include:

  • Government Services (G2C): Aadhaar authentication/e-KYC, PAN applications, passport facilitation, e-district services for certificates, voter ID services.
  • Banking & Financial Services: Bank account opening, DigiPay, PMJDY, digital financial-inclusion services.

The idea is that the CSC operator using the Digital Seva Portal becomes the local one-stop place for many digital services in rural, semi-urban and urban settings.

Why It Matters / What’s the Benefit

  • For citizens: Accessing many services locally through a CSC reduces travel, paperwork and time-cost.
  • For VLEs: It’s an opportunity to earn commissions, build business, and contribute to digital access in your area.

Things to Check / Good Practice

  • Ensure your KYC and bank details are correctly submitted during registration; mismatches can delay approval.
  • Keep your credentials (username, password) secure. Change passwords periodically.
  • Familiarize yourself with the service menu in the portal and any training offered to operate the centre professionally.
  • Maintain proper infrastructure in your centre (computer, printer, scanner, internet) as required for service delivery.
  • Track your service applications and payments; keep records for auditing and accountability.
  • Be aware of service-specific rules (e.g., for Aadhaar enrolment or bill payments) so you comply with guidelines.
