The upgraded Pan Card 2.0 now features a QR code for enhanced verification and faster processing.
However, existing PAN cards remain valid. The QR code addition is an enhancement, not a replacement.
The QR code simplifies identity verification by storing key details securely, reducing the risk of fraud and errors during transactions.
Upgrading to Pan Card 2.0 may involve a nominal fee, depending on your application method (online/offline).
You can apply for the new version online through the Income Tax Department portal or visit an authorized service center for assistance.
