Panelboards on hallways

No, the NEC doesn't as long as the required working space clearance is maintained.

The building codes might have restrictions though.

I agree with Chris. Let me add that you need to coordinate with the Architect, to make sure the walls are thick enough to accomodate a flush mounted panel.

Does the code mention any limitation to place panelboards on hallways??

I'm assuming your Q relates to a 1-family dwelling, and if so, I would say "no". If the panelboard is proposed to be mounted within the wall of a legally required exitway in some other type of occupancy that requires a fire-resistance rating, then the answer would be "not permitted by building code." Depends on your area. Always consult with the AHJ. :)
