TAN Registration is the process of obtaining a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) - a mandatory 10-digit alphanumeric identifier required under Section 203A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for all persons responsible for deducting or collecting tax at source in India. TAN serves as the primary identification number for TDS/TCS compliance across all transactions.
Every person who is required to deduct tax at source (TDS) or collect tax at source (TCS) must mandatorily obtain a TAN before making any such deduction or collection. This includes employers paying salaries, companies making contractor/professional payments, banks paying interest, and any other person liable under the various TDS/TCS provisions of the Income Tax Act. The TAN must be quoted in all TDS/TCS returns, payment challans, and certificates.
TAN is allotted by the Income Tax Department through authorized intermediaries - NSDL (Protean) and UTIITSL. The application is made through Form 49B, which can be submitted online or offline. The entire registration process typically takes 7 to 15 working days, and the application fee is ₹77 (including GST) for online applications.
At IncorpX, we provide end-to-end assistance with TAN Registration starting at ₹999. Our team of experienced tax professionals assists with everything from Form 49B preparation and document verification to online filing and follow-up, ensuring you receive your TAN quickly. Listed amounts are IncorpX professional charges for assistance. Government/statutory fees are charged separately at actuals.
What is TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number)?
TAN stands for Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number. It is a unique 10-digit alphanumeric number assigned by the Income Tax Department of India to individuals, companies, firms, and other entities that are responsible for deducting or collecting tax at source. TAN was introduced to create a systematic framework for tracking TDS/TCS compliance across the country.
The TAN format consists of 4 letters + 5 digits + 1 letter. The first three letters represent the area/city code, the fourth letter is the first letter of the TAN holder's name, followed by a 5-digit unique number, and ending with an alphabetical check character. For example, MUMH12345B - where MUM represents Mumbai, H is the initial of the entity, 12345 is a unique sequence, and B is the check letter.
TAN is issued by NSDL (now Protean e-Governance Technologies Limited) and UTIITSL (UTI Infrastructure Technology and Services Limited) on behalf of the Income Tax Department. These are the only two authorized agencies for processing TAN applications in India. Once allotted, the TAN remains valid for the lifetime of the entity unless surrendered or cancelled.
Key Aspects of TAN:
Mandatory Identification: Required under Section 203A for all persons who deduct or collect tax at source in India.
Unique Format: 10-digit alphanumeric code (4 letters + 5 digits + 1 letter) that uniquely identifies each TDS/TCS deductor.
TDS/TCS Compliance: Must be quoted in all TDS/TCS returns, challans, certificates, and correspondence with the Income Tax Department.
Lifetime Validity: Once allotted, TAN remains valid permanently unless surrendered or cancelled by the Income Tax Department.
Did You Know?
Failure to apply for TAN or not quoting TAN in TDS/TCS documents attracts a penalty of ₹10,000 under Section 272BB of the Income Tax Act. Banks will not accept TDS payment challans without a valid TAN, and TDS returns filed without TAN are rejected by the Income Tax Department.
Who Needs TAN Registration?
TAN is mandatory for every person or entity that is liable to deduct or collect tax at source under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Here is a comprehensive list of persons who must obtain TAN:
Category

Applicable Section
Threshold
Employers

Any Person

Section 194Q

Important Note!
If you fall under any of the above categories, obtaining TAN is not optional - it is a legal obligation. Even if you are yet to make any TDS/TCS deduction, you must apply for TAN as soon as you become liable. Delay in obtaining TAN can result in a penalty of ₹10,000 under Section 272BB.

Frequently Asked Questions About TAN Registration in India (2026)
Understanding TAN Registration requirements can be confusing, especially with multiple TDS/TCS provisions under the Income Tax Act. We have compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions to help you understand the complete process.
Whether you're an employer, a company, or an individual liable to deduct tax at source, these FAQs cover everything you need to know about TAN application via Form 49B, documents required, fees, and TDS/TCS compliance obligations.
TAN stands for Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number. It is a unique 10-digit alphanumeric number issued by the Income Tax Department under Section 203A of the Income Tax Act, 1961. TAN is mandatory for all persons who are responsible for deducting or collecting tax at source (TDS/TCS). Without a valid TAN, you cannot file TDS/TCS returns, issue TDS certificates, or make TDS/TCS payments to the government.
TAN registration is mandatory for:
Employers deducting TDS on salary payments (Section 192)
Companies and firms deducting TDS on contractor/professional payments
Banks and financial institutions deducting TDS on interest payments
Tenants paying monthly rent exceeding ₹50,000
Buyers of immovable property valued above ₹50 lakhs
E-commerce operators required to collect TCS
Any person liable to deduct or collect tax at source under the Income Tax Act
A TAN number follows a specific 10-character alphanumeric format: the first 4 characters are letters (first 3 represent the city/area code, 4th is the first letter of the TAN holder's name), followed by 5 digits, and ending with 1 letter. For example, DELM12345A - where DEL represents Delhi, M is the initial of the entity name, 12345 is a unique number, and A is a check letter.
Form 49B is the prescribed application form for allotment of TAN under the Income Tax Act. It requires details such as:
Existing TAN (if applying for additional TAN or correction)
Contact details and source of income on which TDS is deducted
The form can be filled online on the NSDL-TIN or UTIITSL website.
The government fee for TAN registration through NSDL/Protean is ₹77 (including GST) for online applications. At IncorpX, our TAN registration assistance package starts at ₹999, which covers Form 49B preparation, document verification, online filing, application fee payment, and follow-up until you receive your TAN. Listed amounts are IncorpX professional charges for assistance. Government/statutory fees are charged separately at actuals.
After successful submission of Form 49B and payment of fees, the TAN is typically allotted within 7 to 15 working days. The TAN allotment letter is sent to the applicant's address. You can also track the status online on the NSDL-TIN website using the 14-digit acknowledgment number received at the time of application.
Yes, TAN application can be submitted entirely online through the NSDL-TIN website (now Protean) or UTIITSL portal. The online process involves filling Form 49B digitally, uploading supporting documents, and making fee payment via net banking, debit card, or credit card. At IncorpX, we assist with the complete online TAN registration process.
TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number) is required for persons deducting/collecting tax at source and is used in TDS/TCS returns. PAN (Permanent Account Number) is a unique identification for all taxpayers used for income tax filing, financial transactions, and identity verification. TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number) was used for VAT registration under state tax laws (now largely replaced by GSTIN under GST). Each serves a different purpose under Indian tax law.
Yes, TAN is mandatory for all employers who pay salaries to employees and are required to deduct TDS under Section 192 of the Income Tax Act. Every employer must obtain TAN before deducting TDS from salary payments and must quote the TAN in all TDS returns (Form 24Q), TDS certificates (Form 16), and challans for TDS deposit.
Yes, an individual can apply for TAN if they are liable to deduct or collect tax at source. Common scenarios include individuals who are employers paying salary exceeding taxable limits, individuals paying rent exceeding ₹50,000 per month (Section 194-IB), or individuals purchasing immovable property exceeding ₹50 lakhs (Section 194-IA).
Under Section 272BB of the Income Tax Act, failure to apply for TAN or not quoting TAN attracts a penalty of ₹10,000. Additionally:
TDS/TCS returns will not be accepted without a valid TAN
Banks will not accept TDS/TCS payment challans without TAN
TDS certificates issued without TAN are considered invalid
Quoting a wrong or invalid TAN also attracts a ₹10,000 penalty
To correct or update TAN details (name change, address change, category change, or contact details), you need to file a TAN correction/change request through the NSDL-TIN or UTIITSL website. The process involves filling the correction form online, selecting the fields to be changed, uploading supporting documents, and paying the correction fee of ₹77. Changes are typically processed within 7-10 working days.
Generally, a company should have only one TAN. However, if a company has multiple branches or divisions deducting TDS independently, each branch may apply for a separate TAN. It is important to note that having multiple TANs without valid reason is not permitted and may attract penalties. If you have duplicate TANs, you should surrender the extra TAN(s) through the correction process.
TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is the tax deducted by the payer from the payment made to the payee. For example, an employer deducts TDS from salary, or a company deducts TDS from contractor payments. TCS (Tax Collected at Source) is the tax collected by the seller from the buyer at the time of sale. For example, sellers of scrap, minerals, or e-commerce operators collect TCS. Both TDS and TCS require a valid TAN for compliance.
Key TDS sections under the Income Tax Act include:
Section 192 - TDS on salary
Section 194A - TDS on interest (other than on securities)
Section 194C - TDS on contractor payments
Section 194H - TDS on commission and brokerage
Section 194I - TDS on rent payments
Section 194J - TDS on professional/technical fees
Section 194Q - TDS on purchase of goods exceeding ₹50 lakhs
Each section has specific thresholds and rates. Visit our TDS return filing page for detailed rates and due dates.
TDS deducted during a month must be deposited to the government by the 7th of the following month. For example, TDS deducted in January must be deposited by 7th February. The only exception is TDS deducted in March, which can be deposited by 30th April. Late deposit of TDS attracts interest at 1.5% per month under Section 201(1A) from the date of deduction to the date of actual deposit.
If you are paying monthly rent exceeding ₹50,000, you are required to deduct TDS at 5% under Section 194-IB. However, for individual/HUF tenants not liable to tax audit, you can deduct TDS using your PAN itself - a separate TAN is not mandatory in this specific case. TDS is deposited using Form 26QC and the TDS certificate is issued in Form 16C.
The documents required for TAN registration include:
PAN Card of the applicant (individual/entity)
Identity Proof - Aadhaar Card, Passport, or Voter ID
Address Proof - Aadhaar, utility bill, or bank statement
Certificate of Incorporation (for companies registered under the Companies Act)
Partnership Deed (for partnership firms)
Filled Form 49B with applicant details
Yes, you can check your TAN application status on the NSDL-TIN website using the 14-digit acknowledgment number received at the time of application. You can also verify an existing TAN or search for a TAN using the entity name through the TAN Search facility on the Income Tax Department's e-filing portal at incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in.
Quoting a wrong or invalid TAN in TDS/TCS returns, challans, or certificates is a punishable offence under Section 272BB of the Income Tax Act, attracting a penalty of ₹10,000. Additionally, TDS credit may not reflect in the payee's Form 26AS, causing issues during their income tax assessment. It is crucial to verify your TAN before filing any TDS-related documents. If you discover an error, file a revised TDS return immediately to rectify the mistake.

I'd been planning to register my Private Limited Company for months but didn't know where to start - until I found IncorpX. The team guided me step by step, explained everything clearly, and completed the registration smoothly within the promised timeline. Their pricing was transparent with no hidden charges. Highly recommend IncorpX to anyone starting a business!
