Newly Designed PAN Cards with Enhanced Security Features
The government is issuing newly designed PAN (Permanent Account Number) cards that have added security features to make them tamper-proof, with contents written in both Hindi and English. The distribution of new-look PAN cards, printed by NSDL and UTIITSL (UTI Infrastructure Technology and Services Ltd), started on January 1. The cards are being issued to new applicants, but existing ones can also apply for them.
Introduction of Quick Response Code
The government has added a new feature to the card, known as the Quick Response Code, which will help in the verification process. The code will provide all details of the cardholder in one go when the document is produced before any authority. Hence, no room will be left for the cardholder to either tamper with or give any kind of wrong information relating to the card, the official said.
