About TAN Application
If you pay salary, rent, professional fees, contractor bills or other payments that attract TDS, you need a TAN before you can deduct, deposit or file TDS returns. We prepare Form 49B with the correct deductor details, apply through the authorised agency and make sure the TAN reflects your entity correctly.
What is TAN Application?
The Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) is a 10-character alphanumeric number that must be quoted in TDS and TCS challans, returns, certificates and other documents. It is different from the PAN, which identifies the taxpayer.
Section 203A of the Income-tax Act, 1961 requires every person who deducts or collects tax to obtain a TAN. The application is made on Form 49B through NSDL (Protean). Each deductor generally needs just one TAN, though different branches or divisions can have separate TANs where it is justified.
Who needs this service?
You may need it if any of these describe you.
- Employers who pay salaries and deduct TDS under section 192
- Businesses paying contractors, professionals, rent or commission above TDS thresholds
- Companies, LLPs, firms and trusts that deduct tax at source
- Entities liable to collect tax at source (TCS) on specified sales
- Deductors who have lost their TAN or need to correct details
Benefits

Deductor category, status and address are entered to match your PAN, avoiding later mismatches in returns.

Failure to apply for or quote TAN attracts a penalty under section 272BB, so applying on time protects you.

Once allotted, we can also set up TRACES registration and file TDS/TCS returns.
Correction support
We handle change requests for name, address or category of an existing TAN.
Tracked to completion
We follow the acknowledgement until the TAN is issued.

TAN Application - FAQs
Is TAN the same as PAN?
No. PAN identifies a taxpayer, while TAN identifies a person who deducts or collects tax. A deductor usually needs both.
Do I need a TAN for deducting TDS on rent paid as an individual?
Specified individuals and HUFs deducting tax on rent under section 194-IB, or on property purchases under section 194-IA, need not obtain a TAN and can use their PAN instead. Employers and business deductors do need a TAN.
What is the penalty for not having a TAN?
Section 272BB provides a penalty for failing to apply for a TAN or for quoting an incorrect one. Late TDS filings also carry fees and interest, so it is best to obtain the TAN before the first deduction.
I have lost my TAN. Can I recover it?
Yes. TAN details can be searched with the deductor's name or PAN on the Income Tax portal. We can help obtain a reprint or correction if needed.
Can I have more than one TAN?
Normally a deductor holds one TAN, but a separate TAN is allowed for a distinct branch or division that makes deductions on its own. Do not apply again if you already hold a TAN, because duplicates cause filing mismatches.
