Frequently Asked Questions

Any person or entity responsible for deducting or collecting tax at source (TDS/TCS) must obtain a TAN. This includes businesses, companies, individuals paying salary, rent above Rs. 50,000/month, contractor payments, and professional fees exceeding specified limits.
PAN (Permanent Account Number) is required by all taxpayers to file income tax returns. TAN (Tax Deduction Account Number) is specifically for entities that deduct or collect TDS/TCS. Both are 10-digit alphanumeric numbers but serve different regulatory purposes.
TAN is typically allotted within 7-10 working days of a successful application (Form 49B). We ensure your application is correctly and completely filled to avoid rejection and unnecessary delays.
Deducting TDS without quoting a valid TAN attracts a penalty of Rs. 10,000 under Section 272BB of the Income Tax Act. TAN must be mandatorily quoted in all TDS/TCS returns, payment challans, and TDS certificates.
Ideally, each branch or deducting unit should have its own TAN. However, if the head office files consolidated TDS returns on behalf of all branches, a single TAN can be used. We advise on the most practical structure for your business.
