Service Overview

Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) is a mandatory 10-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the Income Tax Department under Section 203A of the Income Tax Act 1961. Every person or organization responsible for deducting or collecting tax at source must obtain a TAN.

Quoting TAN is mandatory on all TDS payment challans, quarterly TDS returns, TDS certificates (Form 16/16A), and annual information returns. Failing to apply for a TAN or failing to quote it attracts a statutory penalty of ₹10,000 under Section 272BB.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? Find clear answers from our legal advisory team:

Yes. PAN is for paying income tax and identifying taxpayers, while TAN is exclusively for entities that deduct or collect tax at source from payments made to others.

Generally no, but a company can obtain separate TANs for different regional branches or divisions if they manage independent payroll and accounting.

Under Section 272BB of the Income Tax Act, a penalty of ₹10,000 can be levied for failure to apply for TAN or failure to quote it on documents.

Typically 3 to 5 working days from the date of submission of Form 49B on the NSDL portal.

No. Once allotted, a TAN is valid for the lifetime of the business entity unless surrendered.
