The existing PAN card does not have a QR code, which means it will take time to verify an individual's information. Only you will get a physical card. However, if we talk about the PAN 2.0, then you will get a QR code which allows quick verification and also secures the personal information of the individual in the QR code, which can only be read or scanned by authorised software.

    If we talk about the PAN and PAN 2.0, then you will get more features and advanced technology in the PAN 2.0 because it comes with a QR code that is highly encrypted and can only be opened with authorised software, and protects your personal information. whereas old PAN cards don't have such high security, to protect your details or safeguard them from fraud or duplicate PAN cards.

    Old PAN cards only have basic security features like a signature and photographs, but new PAN 2.0 has a dynamic QR code, which helps individuals and taxpayers to enable quick verification and also protects information from unwanted threats.

    New PAN 2.0 has a paperless application process, which is also a major step to protect our environment by not using paper, and it is friendly, whereas for the existing PAN card, you have to apply through paper for the offline process by filling PAN Application form.
