What is TAN Application?

TAN stands for Tax deduction and Collection Account number. It is a unique 10-digit alpha-numeric number issued by the Income Tax Department. Under the Income Tax Department, the TIN-NSDL center regulates and controls the TAN applications. Every person liable to deduct tax at source or collect tax at source is required to obtain a TAN registration. However, a person required to deduct tax under section 194-IA can use PAN in place of TAN as such a person is not required to obtain TAN.
