Curious about PAN 2.0 and how it will impact you? This video can answer all your questions!
First, you'll discover that PAN 2.0 is an advanced e-Governance project by the Income Tax Department, aimed at simplifying taxpayer services through updated technology. You can breathe easy, knowing that your existing PAN card remains valid. There’s no need for a new PAN unless you want to update details or make corrections.
Next, the video explains how various PAN-related services will be centralised on a single digital platform under PAN 2.0. Aadhaar linking, PAN allotment, online corrections, etc., all will be accessible at one place. You’ll also find out that e-PAN delivery will be free. However, physical card delivery will cost ₹50 within India and ₹15 plus postal fees for international addresses.
Then, we’ll explain the upgraded features in PAN 2.0. New PAN cards will include enhanced QR codes for instant verification of details like your name, photo, and signature. Remember that existing PAN cards without QR codes will remain valid. The dynamic QR code in PAN 2.0 will offer real-time updates linked to the PAN database.
Hence, the video explores how PAN 2.0 can be a smarter and more convenient upgrade to make services faster and user-friendly.
