TAN Registration & Services
Get your TAN, or fix the details on an existing one.
What this is
TAN is the ten character number required by anyone who deducts or collects tax at source. We apply through Form 49B, track allotment and handle corrections, along with TRACES registration.

New employers about to run payroll
Businesses starting to deduct on rent, contracts or professional fees
Entities with wrong name or address on an existing TAN
Anyone who needs TRACES access set up

TAN Registration & Services questions
Is TAN the same as PAN?+
No. PAN identifies the taxpayer, TAN identifies the deductor. Both are needed by most businesses.
Do I need a separate TAN per branch?+
You can apply for separate TANs per branch or division if each deducts independently.
Can a proprietor use a personal PAN instead?+
No, a separate TAN is required for deduction, though the proprietor's PAN is quoted in the application.
How long does it take?+
Usually one to two weeks, depending on processing at the facilitation centre.
