TAN Registration Services for every TDS deductor and TCS collector.
Complete TAN application via Form 49B for companies, businesses, employers, and individuals required to deduct TDS or collect TCS — with TAN allotment, TDS compliance setup, and quarterly return filing by qualified Chartered Accountants in Mumbai.
A Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number is the operational prerequisite for every TDS deductor in India. Without a valid TAN, no TDS challan can be deposited, no quarterly TDS return can be filed, and no TDS certificate can be issued to the deductee. The ₹10,000 penalty under Section 272BB for operating without a TAN is just the starting point — the downstream consequences include interest on undeposited TDS, penalties for failure to deduct, and the deductee's inability to claim TDS credit in their income tax return.
TAN registration is required from the moment an entity makes its first payment that attracts TDS — which, for most businesses, is the first salary payment to an employee or the first payment to a vendor above the threshold. We advise businesses to obtain TAN simultaneously with PAN registration and before the first payroll cycle or vendor payment run — ensuring the TDS compliance infrastructure is in place before the obligation arises.
At NDS Advisors, TAN registration is offered as a standalone service and as part of our new business setup package — covering PAN, TAN, GST registration, and initial TDS compliance setup in one coordinated engagement. We also handle TAN corrections, branch-level TAN strategy, and the complete quarterly TDS return filing cycle for businesses of all sizes.

Why Choose NDS Advisors for TAN
Frequently Asked Questions
TAN is a 10-digit alphanumeric identifier mandatory for all persons required to deduct TDS or collect TCS. Every employer, every business deducting TDS on vendor payments, and every seller required to collect TCS must obtain a TAN. Failure to quote TAN on TDS challans or returns attracts a penalty of ₹10,000 under Section 272BB.
PAN is the tax identity of a taxpayer — used for ITR filing and financial transactions. TAN is the identifier of the TDS deductor — used on TDS challans, TDS returns, and TDS certificates. A business entity typically holds both — PAN for its own tax identity and TAN for its TDS obligations.
TAN is applied for by filing Form 49B on the NSDL portal or at a TIN Facilitation Centre. The application requires the deductor's legal name, PAN, category, address, and contact details. No documentary proof is required — however, details must exactly match PAN records. TAN is allotted within 7 to 10 working days.
TAN is mandatory for any person required to deduct TDS or collect TCS — including employers, companies making vendor payments, and individuals and HUFs whose business or professional turnover exceeds prescribed limits. Buyers of property above ₹50 lakh use a special Form 26QB which does not require a TAN.
Operating without TAN attracts ₹10,000 penalty under Section 272BB. TDS returns cannot be filed without TAN, making the deductor liable for 1.5% per month interest on late deposit and a penalty equal to the TDS amount under Section 271C. TDS certificates cannot be issued, preventing deductees from claiming TDS credit.
Yes. A single TAN can legally be used for all branches of the same entity. However, many businesses obtain separate TANs per branch for easier tracking and return filing. We advise on the right TAN structure based on your business size, branch count, and payroll configuration.
TAN details — name, address, or deductor category — can be updated by filing a TAN correction application on the NSDL portal. Common updates include address changes, company name changes, and data entry corrections. We handle TAN corrections with correct documentation to prevent TDS return rejection.
After obtaining TAN, quarterly TDS returns must be filed: Form 24Q for salary TDS, Form 26Q for non-salary resident TDS, Form 27Q for non-resident TDS, and Form 27EQ for TCS. Returns are due by the 31st of the month following each quarter-end (except Q4, due 31 May). We provide end-to-end TDS compliance including return filing and Form 16/16A issuance.
