Under PAN 2.0, Indian PAN cardholders can request a reprint of their PAN card for a fee of Rs 50. The reprinted card, which includes a QR code, will be sent to the taxpayer's registered email address
The reprint can be requested after making corrections or updates to the PAN details in the income tax records. Updating the PAN details is free of charge
Two agencies are authorized to issue, update, and provide PAN services: Protean (formerly NSDL) and UTIITSL. To determine which agency to contact for a reprint, check the back of your PAN card
To request a PAN reprint, visit the NSDL website, enter your details, verify them, and generate an OTP. After payment of Rs 50, an acknowledgment receipt will be generated, and you can download the e-PAN after 24 hours
The reprinted PAN card will be sent to the registered address and is expected to be received within 15-20 days
To request a PAN reprint through UTIITSL, visit their website and enter your PAN, date of birth, and captcha, then click 'Submit'. Follow the steps similar to those outlined for Protean to complete the reprint process
PAN 2.0 is an upgraded system that allows Indian PAN cardholders to easily update details, request reprints, and access enhanced services, including a reprinted card with a QR code for better authentication
