Obtain TAN Application

TAN Application is the first step if your business or entity needs to deduct or collect tax at source. However, many applicants still get confused about eligibility, forms, and the correct process.

Let’s understand this with a simple situation. Suppose you start a small business and hire employees. As soon as salary crosses the taxable limit, you are required to deduct TDS. At this point, without a TAN, you cannot proceed legally.

Therefore, applying for TAN on time is not just important but mandatory for compliance. 

What is TAN Application? 

TAN Application refers to the process of applying for a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number issued by the Income Tax Department. 

This 10-digit alphanumeric number is required for: 

• Deducting TDS 
• Collecting TCS 
• Filing TDS returns 
• Issuing TDS certificates 

Without TAN, these activities cannot be carried out legally.
