Are you deducting TDS but don’t have a TAN yet?
At N D Savla & Associates, we help businesses and professionals across India—especially in Mumbai—seamlessly apply for and obtain their TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number). Whether you’re starting a business or already managing tax deductions, our expert team ensures your TAN registration process is error-free and fully compliant with the Income Tax Act, 1961.
What Is TAN Registration?
TAN, or Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number, is a 10-character alphanumeric identifier issued by the Income Tax Department of India. It is mandatory for individuals and entities responsible for deducting or collecting tax at source (TDS/TCS).
This number must be quoted in all TDS returns, TDS certificates, e-challans, and income tax-related documents. Non-compliance may lead to a penalty of ₹10,000 under Section 272BB of the Income Tax Act.
Structure of a TAN Number
A typical TAN looks like this: MUMA12345G, and is structured as follows:
First 3 letters: Represent the jurisdiction/city (e.g., MUM for Mumbai)
4th letter: First letter of the applicant’s name
Next 5 characters: Numeric digits, system-generated
Last character: Alphabetic check code
Who Needs TAN Registration?
TAN registration is mandatory for:
Businesses or individuals deducting TDS on:
Salaries
Rent exceeding ₹2.4 lakh/year
Contractor payments
Commission, interest, or professional fees
Partnership firms, LLPs, Companies
Sole proprietors with TDS obligations
NGOs/NPOs making qualifying payments
Company branches deducting TDS
Note: Salaried individuals not deducting tax are not required to obtain TAN.
Why TAN Is Mandatory
As per Section 203A of the Income Tax Act, TAN must be quoted in:
TDS returns and e-filings (Form 24Q, 26Q, etc.)
TDS payment challans
TDS certificates (Form 16/16A)
All TDS/TCS related correspondence
Without TAN, you cannot deposit TDS or file returns—leading to penalties and compliance issues.
