TAN Registration in Pune - Overview

📌 TL;DR - TAN Registration in Pune Services at a Glance

TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number) is a 10-digit alphanumeric number issued by the Income Tax Department that is mandatory for all persons responsible for deducting TDS or collecting TCS under Section 203A. In Pune, TAN applications are filed via Form 49B on the Protean eGov portal. The government fee is Rs 65, and TAN is allotted within 7-10 working days - processed at the Protean center in Baner, Pune. Failure to obtain TAN attracts a penalty of Rs 10,000 under Section 272BB.

Pune's employer base generates massive TDS volumes. Over 50,000 IT companies in Hinjewadi and Kharadi deduct salary TDS (Section 192). Manufacturers in MIDC Bhosari and Chakan deduct contractor TDS (Section 194C) and professional fees TDS (Section 194J). For every deductor, TAN is the mandatory first step. Pune holds a unique advantage: the Protean eGov TAN processing center is at Sapphire Chambers, Baner. Learn more about TAN Registration across India.

Patron Accounting handles TAN registration from our Pune office at RTC Silver, Wagholi - bundled with PAN Registration, Payroll Services, PTRC/PTEC, TRACES registration, e-Filing portal activation, and ongoing TDS return filing (24Q, 26Q, 27Q, 27EQ).

Content is reviewed quarterly for accuracy.

What Is TAN Registration

TAN registration is the process of obtaining a 10-digit alphanumeric Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number by filing Form 49B with the Income Tax Department, mandatory for all persons responsible for deducting TDS or collecting TCS.

TAN is distinct from PAN. PAN identifies the taxpayer; TAN identifies the deductor/collector. For Pune-based deductors, TAN typically starts with 'PNE'. Under Section 203A, TAN must be quoted in all TDS/TCS returns (24Q, 26Q, 27Q, 27EQ), payment challans (Form 281), and certificates (Form 16, 16A, 27D). Banks will not accept TDS deposit challans without TAN.

For companies incorporating via SPICe+, TAN is auto-allotted during incorporation. The Income Tax Department uses TAN to track deductions and match them with deductees' Form 26AS/Annual Information Statement.

Key Terms for TAN Registration in Pune:

Section 203A: Income Tax Act provision making TAN mandatory for all TDS/TCS deductors. Penalty Rs 10,000 under Section 272BB for non-compliance.

TRACES: TDS Reconciliation Analysis and Correction Enabling System (tdscpc.gov.in) - mandatory for TDS return filing, Form 16/16A generation, and challan verification.

Form 49B: Application for TAN allotment filed on Protean portal. Government fee Rs 65. No physical document upload required.

Form 24Q/26Q: Quarterly TDS returns - 24Q for salary deductions, 26Q for non-salary resident payments. Filed on TRACES using TAN.

TAN Exceptions: Sections 194-IA (property), 194-IB (individual rent), 194M (certain payments) - PAN can substitute for TAN.

Section 203A TAN Registration

Who Needs TAN Registration in Pune

Employers Deducting Salary TDS (Section 192): IT companies in Hinjewadi and Kharadi, manufacturers in MIDC Bhosari and Chakan, service firms in Koregaon Park and Baner, startups across Pune. Every employer paying salary above basic exemption must deduct TDS and file Form 24Q.

Businesses Paying Contractors (Section 194C): Construction, manufacturing, IT outsourcing, logistics. Single payment > Rs 30,000 or aggregate > Rs 1 lakh requires TDS at 1% (individual/HUF) or 2% (others).

Professional Fee Payers (Section 194J): Companies engaging CAs, lawyers, architects, consultants, technical service providers. TDS at 10% on professional fees. Covers significant portion of Pune's B2B service economy.

Property Buyers (Section 194-IA): Property > Rs 50 lakh. Note: TAN is NOT required here - PAN can be used instead. This is commonly misunderstood.

Newly Incorporated Companies/LLPs: Pvt Ltd via SPICe+ gets TAN auto-allotted. LLPs via FiLLiP need separate Form 49B application. Existing businesses without TAN need immediate registration.

Our Process

6-Step TAN Registration Process in Pune

Patron handles the complete TDS compliance chain from our Pune office. Applications processed at Protean, Sapphire Chambers, Baner, Pune 411 045. For SPICe+ companies, TAN is auto-allotted during incorporation. Walk-in at RTC Silver, Wagholi.

Step 1

Determine TAN Requirement and AO Code

Patron's CA team assesses whether TAN is mandatory based on payment types. We identify the correct Assessing Officer (AO) code for Pune jurisdiction using the Protean AO code finder. For IT companies in Hinjewadi deducting salary TDS, the AO code corresponds to the Pune salary ward. For manufacturers in MIDC Bhosari, it corresponds to the business ward.

AO code verifiedRequirement assessed

AO Verified01

Step 2

File Form 49B on Protean Portal

Patron files Form 49B on tinpan.proteantech.in capturing deductor category (company/firm/individual), name, Pune address, PAN, responsible person details, and AO code. No physical documents uploaded for online submission. For SPICe+ companies, this step is skipped as TAN is auto-allotted with incorporation.

Form 49B filedRs 65 paid

Step 3

Pay Government Fee of Rs 65

Processing fee of Rs 65 (inclusive of GST) paid online via credit/debit card, net banking, or demand draft. For offline applications, fee paid at TIN Facilitation Centre with signed Form 49B.

Step 4

Submit Acknowledgment to Protean Pune

Acknowledgment printed, signed, and submitted to Protean eGov, 4th Floor, Sapphire Chambers, Baner Road, Baner, Pune 411 045. For e-Sign/DSC submissions, no physical acknowledgment needed. Pune applicants can hand-deliver for faster processing.

Step 5

Receive TAN Allotment

Protean processes the application at their Pune center and allots the 10-digit TAN within 7-10 working days. Allotment letter dispatched and available online. For SPICe+ companies, TAN appears on Certificate of Incorporation. Pune-based TAN typically starts with 'PNE'.

Step 6

Activate on TRACES and e-Filing Portal

Critical post-allotment step most commonly missed. Patron registers TAN on TRACES (tdscpc.gov.in) for TDS return filing and Form 16/16A. Activates on Income Tax e-Filing portal for e-pay deposits and compliance tracking. PAN-TAN linkage completed. Without this activation, TAN cannot be used for electronic TDS filing.

Documents Required for TAN Registration in Pune

No physical documents required to be uploaded or attached with Form 49B
PAN of the entity/individual (quoted in form; not attached)
Address details of the deductor (Pune registered office address)
Details of the responsible person (name, designation, PAN, address)
Category of deductor (Central Government, State Government, Company, Firm, Individual, etc.)
AO Code (Assessing Officer code for Pune jurisdiction - auto-suggested by Protean portal)
For SPICe+ companies: No separate form needed - TAN included in incorporation
DSC (Digital Signature Certificate) for e-Sign-based submission (optional; physical signature also accepted)

Pune-Specific Tip: Unlike PAN applications, TAN does not require any supporting identity or address proof documents. The application is a self-declaration in Form 49B. However, the AO code must match the Pune jurisdiction - incorrect AO code selection causes processing delays. Patron uses the Protean AO code finder to select the correct Pune ward/circle based on your registered office address.

5 Common TAN Registration Challenges in Pune

Challenge	Impact	How Patron Accounting Solves It
Missing TRACES + e-Filing Activation	TAN allotment without TRACES and e-Filing activation means TAN cannot be used for electronic TDS filing, Form 16/16A, or e-pay.	Activate TAN on both TRACES and e-Filing portal immediately after allotment. PAN-TAN linkage completed.
Duplicate TAN Allotment	Multiple TANs (one via SPICe+, another manually) prohibited. Creates Form 26AS reconciliation issues.	Check for existing TAN before filing. File cancellation of duplicates if found.
Incorrect AO Code for Pune	Wrong AO code causes jurisdictional mismatch, delayed processing, TDS return verification issues.	Verify correct Pune AO code using Protean lookup tool based on registered office address.
Misunderstanding TAN Exceptions (194-IA, 194-IB, 194M)	Pune property buyers unnecessarily applying for TAN when PAN suffices for Section 194-IA.	Advise whether TAN is actually needed or PAN suffices based on the specific transaction.
Late TDS Return Filing Penalties	Rs 200/day under Section 234E. Rs 10,000-1,00,000 under Section 271H. Many Pune businesses get TAN but neglect returns.	File all four quarterly returns (24Q, 26Q, 27Q, 27EQ) as part of the TAN engagement. Zero late filing.

TAN Registration Fees in Pune - 2026 Schedule

Fee Component	Amount
Government Fee (Form 49B)	Rs 65 (one-time; paid online via Protean)

How much does TAN registration cost?

Government fee is Rs 65 (inclusive of GST) paid on the Protean portal. Patron's all-inclusive package costs Rs 999 covering Form 49B, TRACES registration, e-Filing activation, and PAN-TAN linkage. PAN + TAN bundle: Rs 1,499. Complete employer package with TDS return: Rs 4,999.

How long does it take to get TAN?

TAN allotted within 7-10 working days from Form 49B submission, processed at Protean's Pune center at Sapphire Chambers, Baner. For SPICe+ companies, TAN auto-allotted with Certificate of Incorporation in 7-12 days. TRACES and e-Filing activation take 1-3 additional days.

What is the difference between PAN and TAN?

PAN identifies the taxpayer for income tax purposes (ITR filing, bank accounts, financial transactions). TAN identifies the deductor/collector for TDS/TCS purposes (depositing TDS, filing returns, issuing Form 16/16A). Both are 10-digit alphanumeric. A business typically needs both.

Is TAN mandatory for all businesses?

Mandatory for all persons deducting TDS or collecting TCS - employers, businesses paying contractors/professionals/landlords, TCS collectors. Exceptions: Sections 194-IA (property buyers), 194-IB (individual tenants), 194M (certain individual payments) where PAN suffices.

What is the penalty for not having TAN?

Rs 10,000 under Section 272BB for not obtaining TAN or not quoting it. Banks reject TDS challans without TAN. TDS returns without TAN are rejected. Late TDS return filing: Rs 200/day under Section 234E. Non-filing: Rs 10,000 to Rs 1 lakh under Section 271H.

Do I need separate TAN for each branch?

Yes, if each branch independently deducts TDS. For example, head office in Hinjewadi and manufacturing unit in Chakan each deducting TDS independently need separate TANs. If all TDS is managed centrally from head office, a single TAN suffices.

Can TAN be obtained along with company incorporation?

Yes. For Pvt Ltd companies via SPICe+, TAN is auto-allotted with PAN, GST, EPFO, and ESIC during incorporation with RoC Pune. No separate Form 49B needed. For LLPs via FiLLiP, TAN is NOT auto-allotted and requires separate Form 49B.

What do I need to do after getting TAN?

Three critical steps: (1) Register on TRACES (tdscpc.gov.in) for TDS return filing and Form 16/16A, (2) Activate on Income Tax e-Filing portal for e-pay and compliance, (3) File quarterly TDS returns on time. Without TRACES and e-Filing activation, TAN cannot be used for electronic compliance.

Quick Answers

TAN ka fee kitna hai? Rs 65 government fee. Patron ka all-inclusive package Rs 999 mein TAN + TRACES + e-Filing activation sab included hai.

PAN aur TAN mein kya fark hai? PAN taxpayer identify karta hai (ITR ke liye). TAN deductor identify karta hai (TDS/TCS deposit aur return filing ke liye). Dono alag hain, dono zaroori hain.

Property khareedne ke liye TAN chahiye kya? Nahi. Section 194-IA ke under property buyer apna PAN use kar sakta hai TAN ki jagah. Lekin regular business payments ke liye TAN mandatory hai.

Deducting TDS Without TAN = Rs 10,000 Penalty

Deducting TDS without a valid TAN violates Section 272BB (Rs 10,000 penalty). Banks reject TDS deposit challans without TAN. TDS returns without TAN are rejected. Late quarterly returns attract Rs 200/day under Section 234E. Employers who deduct TDS from salaries but don't deposit face prosecution under Section 276B (up to 7 years imprisonment). Every payroll cycle without TAN compounds the liability.
