The hoisting took place as the world remembered 9/11.
The Taliban has raised its white flag over the Afghan presidential palace as the world marked the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
The banner, showing a verse from the Quran, was put up in a low-key ceremony.
A spokesperson for the militant group says it marks the official start of the work of the new government.
