TAN stands for “Tax Deduction Account Number” which is a unique 10 digit alpha-numeric number which is allotted to all the entities who are obliged to deduct or collect tax at source under Income Tax Act. An application for TAN registration can be made by any entity in Form-49B at TIN Facilitation Centres or an application can be made online. TAN is compulsory not only for deduction/collection of tax at source but it is also required for filing quarterly TDS/TCS returns.

The Government has specified certain transactions where tax has to be compulsorily deducted or collected by the specified assesses. Every person deducting tax deducted at source must issue a certificate to the effect that the tax has been deducted. Such certificate must quote TAN of the deductor.
