Press Release, dated 26-11-2024
The Ministry of Finance has announced that the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has approved the Income Tax Department’s Permanent Account Number (PAN) 2.0 Project. This project aims to streamline and modernise issuing and managing PAN and TAN, making it more user-friendly and efficient.
PAN-related services are currently spread across three portals (e-Filing, UTIITSL, and Protean e-Gov). The PAN 2.0 Project will unify all PAN/TAN services on a single ITD portal, covering allotment, updates, corrections, online PAN validation, AADHAAR-PAN linking, PAN verification, e-PAN requests, and re-print requests.
PAN allotment, updation, and correction will be paperless and free, with e-PAN sent to the registered email. For a physical PAN card, a fee of Rs. 50 (domestic) applies, and Rs. 15 + actual India post charges for delivery outside India.
The CBDT also clarified that the PAN card will not be changed unless the PAN holders want any updation/correction. The existing valid PAN cards will continue to be valid under PAN 2.0.
The PAN card under PAN 2.0 will feature an enhanced dynamic QR code, displaying the latest PAN data. PAN holders with old cards can apply for a new one with a QR code. The QR code validates PAN details, and a specific reader app shows full details such as photo, signature, name, and date of birth.
