PAN 2.0 upgrade: The Income Tax Department is planning several upgrades to the 10-digit alphanumeric Permanent Account Number (PAN). The enhancements will include improving the QR code feature for both new and existing cards, introducing a fully online application process, and consolidating all current identification numbers under PAN as the universal identifier for businesses. 

Last week, the PAN 2.0 Project was given the green light by the Union Cabinet with the goal of establishing PAN as the primary repository of accurate data and ensuring consistency. As PAN is already integrated with Aadhaar, it is poised to serve as a robust tool for identification and information for government authorities.

Reprinting your PAN card

The reissued PAN card, equipped with a QR code, will be dispatched to the taxpayer's designated email address. The request for PAN card reprint can be made subsequent to rectifications and modifications to the PAN details in the income tax records, if necessary. Following the update of details, the revised PAN card containing a QR code will be sent to the taxpayer's registered email address. The service for rectification and updating of PAN details is free of charge.

It is essential to be aware of the issuing agency of your current PAN card before initiating the PAN card reprint process. The income tax department has authorized two agencies, namely Protean (formerly known as NSDL e-governance) and UTI Infrastructure Technology and Services Ltd (UTIITSL), to issue, update, and provide PAN-related services. To determine the correct agency to contact for a PAN card reprint with a QR code, please refer to the back of your PAN card.

Visit NSDL's PAN Reprint webpage
