the business activity radiating outward from Egmore Railway Station and nearby commercial pockets — with same-day acknowledgement delivery
Handling TAN Registration for Egmore and Nungambakkam clients — fixed fee, deterministic turnaround and archived working papers. Call 9566-068-468.
Section 272A(2)(k) levies a penalty of ₹100 per day for failure to file the quarterly TDS/TCS statement (Form 24Q/26Q/27Q/27EQ), capped at the amount of tax deductible/collectible. This is in addition to the Section 234E late-fee of ₹200 per day (capped at the TDS amount) which is a fee, not a penalty. A deductor who has TAN but does not file returns faces both — Section 234E is mandatory; Section 272A(2)(k) requires officer initiation but is invocable.

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 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 sourceA deductor who fails to deduct or, after deducting, fails to deposit TDS is treated as an assessee-in-default under Section 201(1) and is liable to interest under Section 201(1A) at 1% per month for non-deduction and 1.5% per month for non-deposit. Practical compliance with Section 201 is only possible once a TAN is in place, since deposit and reporting run entirely through the TAN.
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 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 sourceFor TAN Registration at PIN 600008, understanding the Egmore Division's documentation norms removes most of the friction from the process. Statutory correspondence for Egmore businesses routes through the Egmore Division, so we align every TAN Registration engagement to that jurisdiction from the start. Every Egmore engagement we open begins with the basics: PIN 600008, the Egmore Division, and the coordinates 13.0791, 80.2605 that anchor the locality. The 600xx geo-zone covering Egmore groups several locality clusters under common administration, keeping documentation expectations predictable.
The businesses clustered around Madras High Court Bench in Egmore drive the bulk of the TAN Registration workload we see each cycle. Each TAN Registration cycle for Egmore reflects its commercial rhythm — invoices generated near Madras High Court Bench, expenses routed through the Egmore Railway Junction freight network. Egmore reads as a healthcare legal commercial central hub pocket with high commercial activity, anchored around Madras High Court Bench and fed by the Egmore Railway Junction corridor. Vendors and customers tied to the Egmore Railway Junction network show up across the invoice trail we reconcile for Egmore TAN Registration clients.
government units around Egmore share recurring TAN patterns — input-credit timing, vendor reconciliation, and sector-specific documentation. Because Egmore hosts a cluster of government businesses, we benchmark each new TAN Registration engagement against patterns we already track for the locality. Sector concentration matters: when Egmore leans toward government, the TAN risks cluster around the same few line items each cycle. A government operator in Egmore gets a TAN workflow shaped by sector norms, not a one-size-fits-all template.
The Egmore TAN Registration workflow is documented end-to-end: WhatsApp document intake, a working file, qualified review, and a filed acknowledgement back to you. The qualified-review step on every Egmore TAN file is where errors get caught before they reach the portal. We keep a repeatable TAN checklist for Egmore so nothing in the cycle is improvised or missed. Fixed-fee scoping means a Egmore business knows the TAN Registration cost up front, with no surprise additions mid-engagement.
Businesses straddling Egmore and Pudupet get a single TAN point of contact rather than two. Serving Egmore and Pudupet from one team keeps TAN Registration turnaround identical across the cluster. TAN Registration clients in Pudupet are handled by the same practitioners who run our Egmore desk. A client relocating between Egmore and Pudupet keeps the same TAN file and the same team.
Over several cycles in Egmore, the recurring TAN Registration issues cluster around a predictable short list we screen for early. The longer we serve Egmore, the more precisely we predict where a TAN file needs attention. Because we work repeatedly across Egmore, we can benchmark a new client's TAN Registration position against the locality norm. Common patterns in the Egmore Division give Egmore businesses an early-warning map we use to pre-empt TAN issues.
Incorporating in Egmore comes with jurisdiction, registration and TAN steps that we sequence so nothing stalls the launch. New jewellery ventures in Egmore lean on us to stand up TAN Registration correctly before the first deadline rather than after a notice. Relocating a registered office into Egmore (PIN 600008) changes the assessing division, and we handle that TAN Registration transition cleanly. When a Chetpet business expands into Egmore, we extend its TAN setup to PIN 600008 without disruption.
Form 49B application under Section 203A for Egmore 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.

For Egmore 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.
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.

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.
There is no statutory ceiling. CBDT guidance and Protean (NSDL) practice permit one TAN per branch or division where deductions are administered locally; one consolidated TAN is also acceptable where deductions are centralised. A single PAN-holder is not restricted to one TAN, but each TAN must correspond to a distinct deducting office with a unique...

“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.”
