What are the Difference Between Pan and Pan 2.0

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.

The existing PAN card is made up of a laminated plastic card and can only be available physical version of PAN, but the new PAN 2.0 also has an e-PAN, which you will get within a few minutes of processing payment, and it can also accessible from anywhere in the world.

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.
