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.

    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.
