Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number(TAN)

In India, a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) is a 10 digit alphanumeric number issued to persons who are required to deduct or collect tax on payments made by them under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961.

The Tax Deducted at Source on payments made by assesses is deposited under the TAN to enable the assesses who have received the payments to claim the tax deducted in their income tax return.

About TAN

  • Monthly Payment

    TDS needs to be paid for each month by the 7th day of the next month into banks authorised by the central government. You would need to use Challan 281 and quote your TAN.



  • Quarterly Filings

    Filings must be done on the 15th day of July, October, January and May. If you don't filing TDS returns within the due date, you will have to pay a penalty of Rs.200 per day.



  • Time Required to obtain a TAN

    TAN Registration can be obtained in 5-10 working days from date of application along with the required documents.




  • Why is TAN required?

    It is mandatory for business entities and other type of entities to deduct tax at the source, i.e., while paying rent, salary, etc., and pay the same to the Government. To track these payments, TDS Certificates and TDS Filings, the Government mandates TAN registration for all entities required to deduct tax at source. TDS ensures the responsibility for payment of tax is diversified and the Government receives tax sooner

  • Who must obtain TAN?

    Individuals who are salaried are not required to deduct tax at source. However, Individuals who run a proprietorship business are required to deduct tax at source. All other entities like LLP, Private Limited Company, Limited Company, Trust, Society, etc., are required to obtain TAN and deduct tax at source.
