"PAN 2.0 Project is a one-stop platform to comprehensively address issues/matters related to PAN and TAN, including application, updates, corrections, Aadhaar-PAN linking, re-issuance requests, and even online PAN validation," explained India's Ministry of Finance.
"The project will also make it easier for users to apply for PAN/TAN online, update their details, and validate PAN information digitally," the government said in its notice.
The government pledged to keep all personal and demographic data protected through enhanced security measures, including a PAN Data Vault. It also promised taxpayers a seamless, transparent, and inclusive system.
The process also results in PAN consolidating into a digital identifier to be used across government services, much like the UK's National Insurance or the US's Social Security numbers, or even like how India's already existing 12-digit Aadhaar was intended.
