How To Receive Your e-PAN 2.0 Via Email - Follow These Steps
The PAN 2.0 initiative, which aims to update the current Permanent Account Number (PAN) system, was unveiled by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT). As part of this program, current PAN cardholders will not need to apply for an electronic version of their card—known as an e-PAN—which will be sent straight to their registered email address. Crucially, the existing physical PAN cards will continue to be valid.
After the system is live, the initiative enables individuals to update or modify their PAN information—such as email address, cellphone number, address, or demographic data like name and birthdate—for free. Up until then, there is no cost to use the Aadhaar-based online tools for updates.
