If you’re interested in applying for the new PAN Card with a QR code, sometimes referred to as PAN 2.0, then here’s a breakdown of the process and some important things to keep in mind:
What is PAN 2.0?
PAN 2.0 is an initiative by the Income Tax Department of India to issue new e-PAN cards with enhanced security features, including a QR code. This QR code contains key information from the PAN database, allowing for quicker verification and reduced chances of fraud.
Do I need to apply?
- If you have an existing PAN card: You are not required to apply for a new one. Your existing PAN remains valid. However, getting a PAN card with a QR code offers better security and easier verification.
- If you are a new applicant: You will automatically receive a PAN card with a QR code when you apply.
How to apply for a new PAN card (with QR code) online:
Identify the issuer of your current PAN: Check the back of your existing PAN card to see if it was issued by NSDL (National Securities Depository Ltd) or UTIITSL (UTI Infrastructure Technology And Services Ltd). This will determine which website you need to use.
