TAN Registration
You cannot deduct TDS without one.
A TAN is the ten-digit number quoted on every TDS challan, return and certificate. Anyone required to deduct tax — on salary, rent above the threshold, contractor payments, professional fees — must hold one.
Deducting and depositing tax without quoting a TAN means the credit does not reach the deductee, and failing to obtain one carries a ₹10,000 penalty under section 272BB.

Questions
Is TAN different from PAN?
Yes. PAN identifies a taxpayer; TAN identifies a deductor of tax at source. An entity that both pays tax and deducts it needs both, and a TAN cannot be substituted by a PAN on a TDS return.
