Apply for TAN Number Online refers to obtaining a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number from the Income Tax Department, a mandatory 10-character alphanumeric number every business or individual required to deduct TDS must hold, distinct from PAN and required before any TDS return can be filed.

Many first-time employers discover they need a TAN only when their accountant tells them the first TDS deduction cannot be filed without one — TAN is a completely separate number from PAN, and confusing the two is one of the most common mistakes founders make before starting the TAN registration process.

This registration itself is refreshingly simple compared to most tax registrations: no minimum turnover requirement, no ongoing renewal, and typically approved within a week of a correctly filed application, since the number's only real purpose is identifying who is deducting and remitting TDS.

The application is filed through an NSDL TAN application submission — Form 49B — either online or through an authorized facilitation center, and unlike GST or company incorporation, there's no annual return tied to holding a TAN itself, only to the TDS deductions made under it.

bizOversal handles the entire application from document preparation through to final submission, so a business that just hired its first employee or engaged its first contractor isn't stuck for days figuring out an unfamiliar government form before payroll or a vendor payment is due.

Frequently asked

TAN Registration — FAQs

Yes — TAN and PAN serve completely different purposes, and a business needs both once it starts deducting TDS on salaries or vendor payments.
Typically 5–7 working days from a correctly filed application to the number being issued and usable for TDS filing.
Yes, it's a relatively simple form, though mismatched details between the application and other business records are a common cause of delay we help avoid.
No — once issued, TAN remains valid indefinitely with no renewal requirement, unlike several other business registrations.
You cannot file the corresponding TDS return at all, and penalties apply for both failing to obtain TAN and for any resulting delay in TDS compliance.
Generally a business needs one TAN per deducting office or branch structure, which we help assess correctly if you operate across multiple locations.
