What are Common Services Centers (CSC)?

Common Services Centers (CSC) provide various e-governance and business services to the citizens in rural and remote areas of India. It is a Pan India program that caters to the geographical, linguistic, and cultural diversity of the country, bringing various services to the citizens using technology in a simple manner. As a vital part of the Digital India Program, the CSC program facilitates e-services to citizens, including public utility services, social welfare schemes, financial services, education and skill development courses, healthcare, and agricultural services, thereby leading the nation towards digitization.

CSC serves as a platform through which different services can be easily accessible to people in every corner of the country. It helps in providing e-services to citizens with great ease and convenience.

How CSC Works?

CSC is an e-Governance service that acts as a specialized operational system, connecting the local population with government departments, private and government banks, insurance companies, and other service providers through IT-enabled networks.

In simple terms, CSC serves as a platform where Village Level Entrepreneurs (VLEs) operate their activities and provide services to users. Through CSC, various government and non-government schemes can be easily accessible to citizens across the country.

The CSC Digital Seva web portal provides various digital services like Digi Pay (for money transactions), Aeps (Aadhaar Enabled Payment System), insurance services, banking, pension services, Aadhaar services, digital payments, and more.

CSC Application Type 2023 (Update)

If someone wants to register for CSC portal and open a new CSC center after the registration is closed, they should be aware of the types of registrations available. The following are the three available types:
