DigiLocker, as the name suggests, is a digital locker or platform that allows for issuing and verifying documents and certificates digitally. It, therefore, eliminates the utility of physical copies.

The DigiLocker can store your driving license, PAN card, Voter ID, policy documents, etc. Once you sign up with the DigiLocker account, your documents are safe and easily uploaded to the dedicated cloud storage space, like your Aadhaar number.

A DigiLocker comes in handy when we don't want to carry our personal documents for the fear of misplacing them. 

Saving documents on DigiLockers reduces the use of paperwork and fetches integration in real-time directly from the issuing agency. The government agencies verify the data directly from issuers after obtaining user consent. The Central Board of Direct Taxes(CBDT) has partnered with DigiLocker for the PAN Card integration facility.
