Prescribed application for allotment of a new TAN by a person required to deduct TDS or collect TCS. Filed online or at a TIN-Facilitation Centre with the applicable fee; a 10-character alphanumeric TAN is allotted on approval.
Used to correct or update details already recorded against an existing TAN (name, address, contact) or to surrender a duplicate TAN allotted in error.
Challan used to deposit tax deducted or collected to the Government; the deductor's TAN is a mandatory field and drives credit to the deductee.
Quarterly statements of TDS: 24Q for salaries, 26Q for other resident payments, 27Q for payments to non-residents. Filed against the deductor's TAN and reconciled to challans and PAN-wise deductee entries.
Quarterly statement of tax collected at source, filed by collectors under Section 206C against their TAN, feeding the collectee's Form 26AS.
TDS certificates issued to deductees: Form 16 for salary and Form 16A for non-salary payments. Generated from TRACES only against a valid TAN and correctly filed statement.
Every claim on this page can be traced back to a section or rule below.
Section 203A makes it mandatory for every person who deducts tax at source (TDS) or collects tax at source (TCS) to apply for and obtain a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN). The section requires TAN to be quoted in every TDS/TCS challan, in every TDS/TCS return, in every TDS/TCS certificate, and in other prescribed documents. It is the foundational provision that brings a deductor into the TDS administration framework.
View sourceSection 272BB imposes a penalty of Rs 10,000 for failure to apply for a TAN when required, and a further Rs 10,000 for failure to quote the TAN, or for quoting a false/incorrect TAN, in challans, returns, certificates or other prescribed documents. The penalty is leviable by the Assessing Officer after giving the person an opportunity of being heard; a reasonable-cause defence is available under Section 273B.
View sourceSection 200 requires a deductor to pay the tax deducted to the credit of the Central Government and to deliver quarterly TDS statements. Rule 31A specifies the statements (Form 24Q for salary, 26Q for other resident payments, 27Q for payments to non-residents) and the due dates. Every challan and statement must quote the deductor's TAN, without which credit cannot flow to the deductee's Form 26AS/AIS.
View sourceSection 206C governs collection of tax at source on specified goods and receipts (e.g. scrap, timber, and remittances/tour packages under sub-section 1G/1H). Rule 31AA prescribes the quarterly TCS statement in Form 27EQ. A collector must hold a TAN and quote it in every TCS challan, statement and Form 27D certificate.
View sourceSection 203 obliges every deductor to issue a certificate of tax deducted (Form 16 for salary, Form 16A for non-salary) to the deductee. These certificates are generated from TRACES only when a valid TAN and correctly filed TDS statement exist, which is why a valid TAN is a precondition to discharging the certificate obligation.
View sourceSection 234E levies a fee of Rs 200 for every day of delay in filing a TDS/TCS statement, capped at the amount of tax deductible/collectible. The fee is mandatory and must be paid before the statement is filed. It presupposes a functioning TAN because statements are filed against the deductor's TAN; a wrong or missing TAN causes rejection and consequential 234E exposure.
View sourceStatutory correspondence for Chetpet businesses routes through the Anna Nagar Division, so we align every TAN Registration engagement to that jurisdiction from the start. Every Chetpet engagement we open begins with the basics: PIN 600031, the Anna Nagar Division, and the coordinates 13.0716, 80.2412 that anchor the locality. Because PIN 600031 sits inside the Chennai North jurisdiction, the handling office for Chetpet stays consistent across years, which matters when filings or approvals span cycles. The 600xx geo-zone covering Chetpet groups several locality clusters under common administration, keeping documentation expectations predictable.
Chetpet reads as a education and residential with healthcare pocket with medium commercial activity, anchored around Anjugam Manimandapam and fed by the Chetpet MRTS corridor. The businesses clustered around Anjugam Manimandapam in Chetpet drive the bulk of the TAN Registration workload we see each cycle. Working in Chetpet brings a logistical edge: proximity to Anjugam Manimandapam and the Chetpet MRTS corridor keeps physical document handling fast. Vendors and customers tied to the Chetpet MRTS network show up across the invoice trail we reconcile for Chetpet TAN Registration clients.
The residential firms we serve in Chetpet value a TAN partner who already understands their sector's compliance rhythm. Sector concentration matters: when Chetpet leans toward residential, the TAN risks cluster around the same few line items each cycle. We have closed enough TAN Registration files for residential firms near Chetpet to know where the department usually probes. Mixed residential activity across Chetpet means our TAN team keeps sector playbooks ready rather than improvising per client.
Every TAN file we open for Chetpet is reconciled, reviewed by a qualified practitioner, and archived for seven years. We keep a repeatable TAN checklist for Chetpet so nothing in the cycle is improvised or missed. Our Chetpet TAN process is built to be predictable, documented, and on time, cycle after cycle. Fixed-fee scoping means a Chetpet business knows the TAN Registration cost up front, with no surprise additions mid-engagement.
We treat Chetpet and Nungambakkam as one catchment for TAN Registration, which keeps documentation and turnaround consistent. Coverage from Chetpet naturally extends to Nungambakkam, so group entities across the area share one TAN Registration workflow. TAN Registration clients in Nungambakkam are handled by the same practitioners who run our Chetpet desk. Serving Chetpet and Nungambakkam from one team keeps TAN Registration turnaround identical across the cluster.
Common patterns in the Anna Nagar Division give Chetpet businesses an early-warning map we use to pre-empt TAN issues. The TAN Registration mistakes we see most in Chetpet are avoidable with disciplined intake, which our checklist enforces. Sector signals in Chetpet — seasonal healthcare swings and peak-period volumes — shape how we schedule TAN work. Recurring gaps in Chetpet healthcare records are the first thing our TAN Registration review closes out.
New residential ventures in Chetpet lean on us to stand up TAN Registration correctly before the first deadline rather than after a notice. We onboard new Chetpet entities onto a TAN Registration cadence that is audit-ready from the very first cycle. Relocating a registered office into Chetpet (PIN 600031) changes the assessing division, and we handle that TAN Registration transition cleanly. Shifting principal place of business to Chetpet means updating jurisdiction to the Chennai North, and we manage the paperwork end-to-end.
Form 49B application under Section 203A for Chetpet deductors — drafted with the correct deductor category (Company/Firm/Individual/HUF/Trust/Government), authorised signatory details, registered office and DSC/Aadhaar verification — filed through Protean (formerly NSDL) and tracked till the TAN allotment letter.
A dedicated TAN consultant in Chetpet handles every stage — eligibility check under Section 203A, deductor-category mapping, supporting documents preparation, online Form 49B submission, acknowledgement despatch where DSC is not used, and 7-15 working day allotment tracking with TRACES registration.
For Chetpet businesses with multiple branches or divisions, branch-wise Form 49B is filed with distinct registered addresses — one TAN per deducting office — with consolidated reporting at the head office and synchronised TRACES registration for Form 24Q/26Q/27Q quarterly returns.
Where TAN particulars need updating (name, address, category) the Form 49B Change/Correction route is filed; where Section 272BB penalty is invoked for failure to apply or quoting incorrect TAN, Section 273B reasonable-cause submissions are drafted citing CIT v. Eli Lilly and Hindustan Steel principles.
PAN (Section 139A) is the universal taxpayer identification number — used by every person earning income, filing returns and entering high-value transactions. TAN (Section 203A) is exclusively for deductors and collectors — used to deposit TDS/TCS challans, quote on Form 16/16A and file TDS returns. A single entity ordinarily holds one PAN and one TAN;...
Section 272BB(1) levies a penalty of ₹10,000 on a person who fails to apply for allotment of TAN as required by Section 203A, or fails to quote or quotes incorrect TAN on any challan, certificate, statement or other document. Sub-section (1A) prescribes the same ₹10,000 for quoting a false TAN knowingly. The penalty is per...
No. Section 194-IA (TDS at 1% on purchase of immovable property of ₹50 lakh and above) is a PAN-based deduction — the buyer deducts and deposits TDS using Form 26QB by quoting the buyer's and seller's PAN. The proviso to Section 203A(2) and Rule 31A(3A) specifically dispense with the TAN requirement for Section 194-IA, 194-IB...
After successful submission of Form 49B and payment of the application fee, the acknowledgement is generated immediately. Physical despatch of supporting documents (where required) takes 3-5 working days; the Income Tax Department processes the allotment in 7-15 working days from receipt at the National Securities Depository / Protean processing centre. The TAN allotment letter is...
A partnership firm holds one PAN at the firm level. It may, however, obtain separate TANs for each branch where deduction is centrally administered, by filing a separate Form 49B for each branch and indicating the branch name and address. Alternatively, the firm may operate a single TAN at the head office with branch-level reporting...
Yes — if the proprietor is a person responsible for deducting TDS under any provision other than Sections 194-IA, 194-IB or 194M (e.g., a proprietor paying salary above the Section 192 threshold, or contract payments under Section 194C beyond the threshold), Section 203A requires him to apply for TAN even though he holds a PAN.

“Started a manufacturing unit at Ambattur with 18 employees. FilingPro filed Form 49B, got our TAN in 9 working days, and set up the entire Section 192 salary TDS workflow including TRACES registration and the first Form 24Q. Form 16 generation is now a clean monthly process.”
“We had two duplicate TANs allotted years ago by mistake — one was being used, the other was attracting non-filing notices. FilingPro coordinated the surrender with the AO (TDS), filed the pending NIL statements, and closed the duplicate TAN cleanly. Notices stopped immediately.”
“Our charitable trust started paying contract fees crossing the Section 194C threshold. FilingPro explained that 12A registration does not exempt TDS, filed Form 49B in the trust's name with the Trust Deed and 12AB certificate, and got the TAN within 12 days. Compliance now fully on track.”
“Pvt Ltd company expanding to two new branches at Coimbatore and Madurai. FilingPro filed branch-wise Form 49B for each location, got three TANs within two weeks, and synchronised the TRACES setup. Branch-level deduction reporting is clean and consolidated at head office.”
“Received a Section 272BB notice for ₹10,000 — we had quoted PAN on three challans by mistake before getting the TAN. FilingPro drafted the Section 273B reasonable-cause reply citing Hindustan Steel v. State of Orissa and got the penalty fully waived. The bona fide error defence held up.”
“Closed my proprietorship and converted to a private limited company. FilingPro surrendered the old proprietorship TAN, filed Form 49B for the new company, and managed the transition Form 24Q for the conversion quarter under both TANs. Form 16 to employees was clean across the transition. Worth every rupee.”
