LTIMindtree to Lead PAN 2.0 Modernization

The Income Tax Department has selected IT services leader LTIMindtree to spearhead the PAN 2.0 modernization initiative, aiming to unify all PAN and TAN-related services into a single, tech-driven platform within the next 18 months.

What PAN 2.0 Brings to the Table

The PAN 2.0 platform is set to revolutionize the way Indian taxpayers interact with the Income Tax Department by offering a one-stop solution for PAN and TAN services, including allotment, corrections, and linking with Aadhaar, all through a paperless process.

Cost and Convenience

Under the new system, services like PAN allotment, update, and correction will be provided free of cost, with e-PANs delivered directly to the taxpayer's registered email ID, enhancing convenience and efficiency.

A Unified Portal for All

Currently fragmented across three platforms, PAN-related services will be integrated into a single unified portal, significantly improving user experience and reducing complexity for over 81.24 crore PAN holders and 73 lakh TAN holders in India.

Investment and Impact

With a final bid value of over Rs 792 crore and a total project approval of Rs 1,435 crore by the CCEA, the PAN 2.0 initiative underscores the government's commitment to leveraging technology for better service delivery and grievance redressal.
