It is a major upgrade of the Permanent Account Number (PAN) system, aimed at delivering a seamless, digital experience for taxpayers.
No change to your PAN number is required! Citizens will receive a free upgraded PAN card featuring enhanced features like a QR code, issued at no cost and delivered directly to you.
The project includes system modernization, QR code integration, a unified portal, improved security, and eco-friendly operations. A robust grievance redressal system further simplifies the taxpayer experience.
Taxpayers benefit from faster service delivery, enhanced data accuracy, cost savings, and a sustainable approach through streamlined processes.
To date, around 78 crore PANs have been issued, with 98% allocated to individuals. This upgrade promises to make India’s tax system more efficient, secure, and accessible, benefiting individuals and businesses alike.
This e-Governance initiative transforms taxpayer registration by enhancing PAN/TAN services, modernizing the digital experience for users.
The Income Tax Department uses PAN to track and link all transactions, including tax payments, TDS/TCS credits, income returns, specified transactions, and official communications.
