On May 28, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman launched the facility for instant allotment of PAN (Permanent Account Number) card via Aadhaar-based e-KYC. 

This facility is available for applicants who have a valid Aadhaar number and a mobile number registered with the Aadhaar database.

The near to real-time process, which was announced by the finance minister in Union Budget, is paperless, and applicants will receive an electronic PAN (e-PAN) for free. 

“In the last Budget, I had introduced the interchangeability of PAN and Aadhaar for which necessary rules were already notified. In order to further ease the process of allotment of PAN, soon we will launch a system under which PAN shall be instantly allotted online on the basis of Aadhaar without any requirement for filling up of detailed application form,” Sitharaman said in the Union Budget 2020.
