When applying for a PAN card online, uploading a clear signature scan is required. Non-compliant uploads (e.g. signature on ruled paper or incorrect dimensions) can cause application rejection.
Signature Sizing Guidelines
- Paper and Ink: Sign on plain white paper using black ink for higher contrast and better legibility.
- Dimensions: Exactly 213 pixels x 213 pixels (square format) or 4.5 cm x 2.0 cm.
- File size: Under 50 KB (NSDL) or under 30 KB (UTIITSL).
Use the Signature Resizer to crop your signature scan and compress it under 30KB. The tool handles formatting locally to keep your private files secure.
