What is a Tax Account Number?

Tax Account Number, commonly known as TAN, stands for Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number. It is a 10-digit alphanumeric code issued by the Income Tax Department of India. TAN is required by any person or entity responsible for deducting or collecting tax at source (TDS or TCS). For instance, businesses must obtain and quote TAN when deducting employee salaries. The government has laid out specific criteria for when tax must be deducted or collected at source. Quoting TAN is mandatory in all TDS/TCS returns, challans, and related documents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Within how much time is the Tax Account Number (TAN) is allotted by NSDL?

Once applied generally, it takes 7-10 working days for TAN allotment by NSDL. However, receipt of a physical TAN letter may take time depending upon the processing time by the department. Once the application for TAN number is made, it is always possible to know your TAN status.

Can a PAN be used instead of TAN?

No, a PAN cannot be used instead of TAN. PAN and TAN serve two different purposes. Therefore, it is mandatory for those deducting tax at source to obtain a TAN.

How and when should the TDS be deposited?

Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) must be deposited through banks using Challan 281, quoting the TAN number of the entity. The deadline for payment of TDS is the 7th day of every month.
