TAN registration is mandatory for:

• Employers deducting TDS on salaries
• Businesses deducting TDS on contractor, rent, or professional fees
• Individuals deducting TDS on property rent/sale (in some cases)

TAN can be applied online through the NSDL portal by filling Form 49B. However, the process can be confusing. Mequintrax simplifies the entire process by handling the application, verification, and delivery of TAN with expert support and fast turnaround.

Once the application is submitted with proper details, TAN is typically issued within 7 working days. With Mequintrax, we ensure accurate filing and follow-ups so you receive your TAN number quickly and start your TDS compliance immediately.

TAN application doesn’t require extensive documentation, but you’ll need:

• PAN of the applicant
• Business registration proof
• Address and contact details
• Authorized signatory info

No. PAN is used for personal or business income tax purposes, while TAN is used specifically for TDS/TCS deductions and return filings. Both are separate identifiers and cannot be substituted for one another. Mequintrax helps you obtain and manage both.

Filing TDS returns or making tax deductions without a valid TAN can lead to penalties under Section 272BB, including a fine of ₹10,000. Mequintrax helps ensure your business is registered and compliant before any deductions are made.

Not always. For TDS on property purchase under Section 194IA, you don’t need a TAN—just PAN is enough. But for all other types of TDS (salary, contractor, interest), TAN is compulsory. Mequintrax guides you based on the transaction type.

Yes. If your business operates in multiple states or deducts TDS from different branches, you may be required to obtain separate TANs for each jurisdiction. Mequintrax helps you assess and apply for multiple TANs, if needed.
