    Online TAN Application

    TAN refers to the Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number, a 10-digit alphanumeric number required to be obtained by all those responsible for deducting tax at source (TDS) or required to collect tax at source (TCS). It is compulsory to quote TAN in TDS/TCS return (including any e-TDS/TCS return), TDS/TCS payment challan, and TDS/TCS certificates. TAN is allotted by the Income Tax Department (ITD). To help improve the process of TAN application, the government of India has eased up the process where the applicants can apply online.

    The provisions of deduction of tax at source are applicable to several payments such as salary, interest, commission, brokerage, professional fees, royalty, contract payments, etc. Therefore, in respect of payments to which the TDS provisions apply, the payer has to deduct tax at source on the payments made by him and he has to deposit the tax deducted by him to the credit of the Government.

    Types of Online TAN Application

    • Application for TAN (Form 49B)

    This application should be used when the applicant wants a new TAN for his business or its branch/division and has not previously applied for a TAN.

    • Application for Changes or Correction in TAN Data for TAN allotted.

    This application should be used when TAN has been allotted already to the applicant but a new TAN Copy is required or when data associated with the TAN (e.g. name of applicant/date of birth/address) is required to be updated in the records of Income Tax Department.

    Why is TAN required?

    • To Deduct Tax at Source (TDS)

      • TDS or Tax Deducted at Source is a system where a person responsible for making specified payments such as salary, commission, professional fees, interest, rent, etc. is liable to deduct a certain percentage of tax before making payment in full to the receiver of the payment.
      • In addition, the deductor has to deposit the TDS deducted to the government and the details of same have to be filed quarterly in the TDS return.
      • Therefore, a TDS deductor has to obtain TAN mandatorily and quote his TAN on the TDS Certificate and Returns.
    • To Collect Tax at Source (TCS)

      • Tax collection at source or TCS is an amount collected as tax by a seller of specified goods from the buyer at the time of sale
      • TCS deduction is applicable on sales of goods like Alcoholic liquor for human consumption, timber, Tendu leaves, scrap, minerals, etc.
      • Therefore, a Collector of TCS also needs to have TAN mandatorily to collect TCS, issue TCS certificate and file returns to the Government.
    • Penal provision

      • The provisions of Section 203A of the Income-tax Act, 1961 make it mandatory to quote TAN in all TDS/TCS/Annual Information Returns, payment challans, and certificates to be issued.
      • If TAN is not quoted, TDS/TCS returns will not be accepted by TIN-Facilitation Centres (TIN-FCs) and challans for TDS/TCS payments will not be accepted by banks.
      • Also, failure to apply for TAN or not quoting the same in the specified documents attracts a penalty of Rs. 10,000.
