The Income Tax department has come up with a new e-Filing portal (ITR e-filing 2.0) which is effective from 7th Jun, 2021. The new ITR e-filing 2.0 portal enables the user to download the e-PAN (Permanent Account Number) instantly.
A permanent account number is a 10 character alphanumeric number, issued by the Indian Income Tax Department, to any “person” who applies for it or to whom the department allots the number without an application.
All tax-related information for a person/company is recorded against a single PAN number. For all tax-related transactions such as TCS, TDS, Income Tax Return, etc quoting PAN is a must. This is why the PAN is considered an important KYC (Know Your Customer) document.
