FAQ ()
Question :
What is TAN?
Answer :
TAN i.e., Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number is a 10-digit alpha numeric number required to be obtained by all persons who are responsible for deducting tax at source or collecting tax at source. It is compulsory to quote TAN in TDS/TCS return (including any e-TDS/TCS return), any TDS/TCS payment challan, TDS/TCS certificates, Annual Information Return and other documents as may be prescribed.
Question :
Who must apply for TAN?
Answer :
Every person liable to deduct tax at source or collect tax at source is required to obtain TAN. However, a person required to deduct tax under section 194IA,194 IB and 194M can use PAN in place of TAN as such persons are not required to obtain TAN.
Question :
Who allots TAN?
Answer :
TAN is allotted by the Income Tax Department on the basis of the application submitted to TIN Facilitation Centres (TIN-FC) managed by NSDL. NSDL will intimate the TAN which will be required to be mentioned in all future correspondence relating to TDS/TCS.
Question :
Should Government deductors apply for TAN?
Answer :
Yes.
Question :
Can we quote Permanent Account Number (PAN) in place of TAN?
Answer :
No. PAN should never be quoted in the field where TAN is required to be quoted. The purposes for which PAN and TAN are allotted are different. TAN is a unique identification number which is allotted to persons who are required to deduct tax at source or collect tax at source.
PAN is a unique identification number issued to keep a linking of the transactions carried by a person like payment of tax, TDS/TCS credit, return of income or correspondence by the Income Tax Department, investments made by a person, loan taken by a person, etc.
However, a person required to deduct tax under section 194IA,194 IB and 194M can use PAN in place of TAN as such persons are not required to obtain TAN.
