The Permanent Account Number (PAN) acts as a unique identifier for financial transactions and tax-related activities. With the launch of PAN 2.0, the process of updating and reprinting cards has become more streamlined. Taxpayers can now request a reprint of their PAN card, which will include an embedded QR code, for a nominal fee of Rs 50.
Cardholders can request the reprint through authorized service providers, NSDL or UTI Infrastructure and Technology Services Ltd (UTIITSL). The reprinted PAN card will feature a QR code containing the taxpayer’s details and will also be sent digitally to the taxpayer’s registered email address.
