What is TAN?

TAN is a 10-digit unique number, short for Tax Deduction or Collection Account Number. Provided by the Income Tax Department of India, TAN is a must for individuals responsible for deducting or collecting taxes at source. The unique design of TAN has four alphabets at the start, followed by five numbers and again an alphabet at the end, for, e.g., PLEP09015T².

As mentioned, TAN comes in handy for deductions, and by failing to obtain and quoting incorrect TAN in your fillings, you may attract a hefty fine of ₹10,000 according to section 272BB(1) and 272BB(1A) respectively of the Income Tax Act, 1961³.
