Tax Deduction Account Number (TAN) is a 10-digit alphanumeric number issued by the Income Tax Department to every entity required to deduct TDS or collect TCS at source. TAN is mandatory for filing TDS returns, issuing TDS certificates (Form 16/16A), and making TDS payments using challans.

Entities required to obtain TAN include companies, partnership firms, LLPs, proprietorships (with employees or large payments), trusts, and government bodies. A single TAN can be used for all types of TDS/TCS deductions — no separate TAN is needed for each type of payment.

We file Form 49B online, obtain the TAN within 7–10 working days, and provide guidance on TDS rate applicability to ensure full compliance from day one.

Any person or entity required to deduct TDS under Chapter XVII-B of the Income Tax Act. This includes employers, businesses paying professional fees, rent, or contractor payments above specified limits.
How is TAN different from PAN?+
PAN identifies a taxpayer; TAN identifies a deductor. Both are 10-character alphanumeric, but TAN starts with 4 letters (location code + initial) and PAN starts with 5 letters.

Not for most payments. Only individuals buying property (Section 194IA) and individuals paying rent (Section 194IB) can use PAN instead of TAN.
How do I change my TAN details?+
File a TAN Correction form (49B) with NSDL to change name, address, or contact details linked to your TAN.

Section 272BB imposes a penalty of ₹10,000 for failure to apply for TAN or for quoting incorrect TAN in TDS documents.
