The\u00a0PAN 2.0 Project\u00a0aligns with the government&#8217;s broader vision of fostering a\u00a0Digital India\u00a0and improving\u00a0e-Governance. The announcement was made on\u00a0Monday, November 25, 2024, with a financial outlay of\u00a0\u20b91,435 crore allocated for its implementation. By modernizing PAN\/TAN services, it addresses long-standing issues of delays and inconsistencies while ensuring greater transparency and convenience for taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p>CBDT PRESS RELEASE: PAN related services are hosted on three different portals (e-Filing Portal, UTIITSL Portal &amp; Protean e-Gov Portal). In the PAN 2.0 Project, all PAN\/TAN related services will be hosted on a single unified portal of ITD. The said Portal would host all end-to-end services related to PAN and TAN like allotment, updation, correction, Online PAN Validation, Know your AO, AADHAAR-PAN linking, verify your PAN, request for e-PAN, request for re-print of PAN card etc.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PAN_20_Project_Overview\"><\/span><strong>PAN 2.0 Project Overview:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Approval and Financial Outlay: The project has been approved by the\u00a0CCEA, chaired by Prime Minister\u00a0Narendra Modi, with a financial allocation of\u00a0\u20b91,435 crore. The project focuses on re-engineering taxpayer registration services, leveraging digital technologies for enhanced efficiency and user experience. A unified, paperless, and online portal\u00a0will be introduced for seamless PAN\/TAN-related services.<\/li>\n<li>Free PAN Card Upgrade: The upgrade includes a\u00a0free PAN card\u00a0with an embedded\u00a0QR code\u00a0for taxpayers, announced by Union Information and Broadcasting Minister\u00a0Ashwini Vaishnaw. All PAN cardholders will be eligible for a free upgrade\u00a0of their PAN cards to include a\u00a0QR code for easier validation and information retrieval. This upgrade aims to simplify updates to personal details such as address, date of birth, or name.<\/li>\n<li>E-Governance Initiative: PAN 2.0\u00a0is a re-engineering effort aimed at transforming the\u00a0business processes of taxpayer registration services using advanced technology. It integrates both core\u00a0and\u00a0non-core PAN\/TAN activities along with PAN validation services to create a unified ecosystem. No Change Required for Existing PAN Holders: Existing PAN cards will\u00a0remain valid, and there is no mandatory requirement for individuals or corporations to apply for a new card. Upgrading to the new QR code-enabled PAN card is optional and available for those wishing to update their details. The project consolidates PAN and TAN services to create a single source of truth, improving\u00a0data consistency\u00a0and transparency.<\/li>\n<li>System Overhaul: The project involves a comprehensive overhaul of the existing PAN issuance and verification systems to streamline processes and improve reliability. Over 78 crore PAN cardholders will benefit from streamlined, eco-friendly processes that reduce paperwork and processing time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Validity_and_Free_Updates\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Validity and Free Updates:<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Existing PAN cards without QR codes remain valid, Free services include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Allotment of a new PAN.<\/li>\n<li>Updates or corrections in PAN details.<\/li>\n<li>e-PAN delivery\u00a0to the registered email address.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For a\u00a0physical PAN card, a fee of\u00a0\u20b950 (domestic) applies.
