In a major advancement for India’s digital tax infrastructure, LTIMindtree has secured the PAN 2.0 tender from the Income Tax Department. Valued at ₹792.5 crore, this initiative will unify all PAN and TAN-related services into a single, seamless digital platform.

What Is PAN 2.0?

PAN 2.0 is a flagship government project designed to consolidate:

  • Permanent Account Number (PAN) services
  • Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) services

Currently fragmented across various portals, the initiative will merge operations into a secure, paperless system—streamlining interactions for both individuals and businesses.

  • Full-scale design and development of the platform
  • Hardware and software procurement
  • Data migration from legacy systems
  • Integration with internal and external digital ecosystems
  • Long-term operations and maintenance

The rollout is expected to be completed within 18 months.
