The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has awarded the Income Tax Department’s PAN 2.0 project to LTIMindtree, sources told CNBC-TV18. The initiative is a major digital revamp aimed at unifying and modernising all PAN and TAN-related services under a single platform.

The new system is expected to go live within 18 months, sources added.

The PAN 2.0 initiative is designed as a one-stop paperless platform that consolidates services currently spread across the e-Filing portal, UTIITSL, and Protean e-Gov portals. It will handle applications, updates, corrections, Aadhaar-PAN linking, re-issuance requests, and online validation under a single digital roof.


According to a PIB note from November 2024, the project also aims to establish PAN as a common identifier across various government digital systems. It will support quicker, paperless processing and introduce enhanced data security features such as a dedicated PAN Data Vault.


Key features of PAN 2.0 include:


A unified portal for all PAN/TAN services
Eco-friendly, paperless operations
Free-of-cost PAN issuance with reduced turnaround time
A dedicated helpdesk and call centre for user support
Tighter security and data protection protocols

The upgrade aligns closely with the government’s Digital India mission, promising faster service delivery, robust grievance redressal, and a simplified user experience for taxpayers.


Once operational, PAN 2.0 is expected to not only streamline workflows for the Income Tax Department but also empower users with seamless digital access to all their PAN-related needs.
