PAN 2.0: A Seamless Solution for Modern Taxpayers – Situations You’ll Relate To

Meet Riya, Aman, Priya, and Sameer—four individuals with very different financial needs, but one thing in common: PAN (Permanent Account Number) and TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number)-related challenges.

Here’s how the new PAN 2.0 Project can transform their lives!

Unified Portal for All Services

Riya recently started her boutique business. She needs to apply for a TAN for her GST filings and update her PAN address to match her new studio location. Previously, she had to juggle between the e-Filing Portal, UTIITSL Portal, and Protean e-Gov Portal for different tasks.

With PAN 2.0: She quickly applies for her TAN, updates her PAN address, and even verifies her PAN online—all in one go. Riya now has a single, unified portal to handle all her PAN and TAN needs.

Paperless Processes

Aman is a sustainability advocate who hates unnecessary paperwork. He’s been procrastinating on linking his PAN with Aadhaar, dreading the paperwork involved.

With PAN 2.0: Aman discovers the fully paperless Aadhaar-PAN linking process. In just a few clicks, his PAN and Aadhaar are linked digitally—no physical forms, no hassle.

Quicker, Free Services

Priya just got her first freelance job and needs a PAN to receive payments. Her friends warn her about long processing times for PAN applications.

With PAN 2.0: Priya applies for her PAN online at no cost and receives her e-PAN directly in her email within 48 hours and a physical PAN card, for just ?50 (?15 plus shipping if she’s studying abroad).

Enhanced Data Security with PAN Data Vault

Sameer, who manages sensitive client data, is worried about data breaches. He’s hesitant to use online platforms for his PAN services due to security concerns.

With PAN 2.0: Sameer feels reassured knowing that the PAN 2.0 ecosystem includes a PAN Data Vault that uses cutting-edge technology to secure personal and demographic information.

Dynamic QR Code for Instant Validation

Riya’s boutique clients occasionally ask her to verify her PAN details for business transactions. She has an older PAN card and needs to validate her PAN frequently.

With PAN 2.0: Riya upgrades to a PAN card with a dynamic QR code. Now, she can share her QR code with her clients, who use a simple scanner to verify her updated PAN information instantly.

Dedicated Call Center and Helpdesk

Aman’s father, a senior citizen recently retired and wants to correct a typo in his PAN card details. However, he’s not tech-savvy and struggles with online processes.

With PAN 2.0: A dedicated call center patiently guides him through the process. With their help, he easily updates his details online without visiting any physical office.

Simplifying Duplicate PAN Resolution

Priya’s uncle accidentally ended up with two PAN cards years ago and has been avoiding the tedious process of rectifying it however he does want to be compliant with tax laws.

With PAN 2.0: The system’s advanced logic identifies duplicate PANs, flags the issue, and notifies users to resolve it. He is guided through the process of deactivating the duplicate PAN.

Common Business Identifier

Sameer works with small businesses and often also deals with agencies that priorities confidentiality. Each platform requires him to use separate identifiers, causing unnecessary complications.

With PAN 2.0: The PAN now doubles as a common business identifier, streamlining all his dealings with agencies, banks, and financial institutions. No more juggling multiple IDs—it’s all simplified.

By unifying services, embracing eco-friendly processes, and focusing on taxpayer convenience, PAN 2.0 aims to make life easier for everyone—whether you’re a student, entrepreneur, environmentalist, or financial planner.
