• PAN stands for Permanent Account Number. A PAN


number is a ten-digit number in alphabets and numerical, or
in 'alphanumeric' terms, that is allocated by the income tax
department to all the taxpayers, and is unique with each
individual.
• A PAN number helps the authorities keep track of the
financial activities of any individual, as PAN is integral to all
forms of payments.
• A PAN number is allotted through a laminated card, which is
called a PAN card. A PAN card contains information like
PAN number, Name, DOB, and father’s name.

A permanent account number (PAN) is a ten-character


alphanumeric identifier, issued in the form of a laminated
"PAN card", by the Indian Income Tax Department, to any
"person" who applies for it or to whom the department allots
the number without an application. It can also be obtained in
the form of a PDF file.

A PAN is a unique identifier issued to all judicial entities


identifiable under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961. The income
tax PAN and its linked card are issued under Section 139A of
the Income Tax Act. It is issued by the Indian Income Tax
Department under the supervision of the Central Board for
Direct Taxes (CBDT) and it also serves as an important proof of
identification.
It is also issued to foreign nationals (such as investors) subject
to a valid visa, and hence a PAN card is not acceptable as proof
of Indian citizenship. A PAN is necessary for filing income tax
returns.

TAN or Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number is a 10


digit alpha numeric number required to be obtained by all
persons who are responsible for deducting or collecting tax.
Under Section 203A of the Income Tax Act, 1961, it is
mandatory to quote Tax Deduction Account Number (TAN)
allotted by the Income Tax Department (ITD) on all TDS returns.
Since last few years ITD has revised the structure of TAN. It is a
unique 10 digit alphanumeric code. Accordingly, they have
issued TAN in this new format to all existing TAN holders.
To facilitate deductors find their new TAN, ITD has now
introduced a search facility in their website
(www.incometaxindia.gov.in).

Through this facility deductors can search on their name and


old TAN to find the new TAN. Deductors are advised to find
the new TAN from this site before it is incorporated in their e-
TDS return file to avoid any inconvenience at the time of
furnishing e-TDS return.
TAN is required to be quoted in all TDS/TCS returns, all
TDS/TCS payment challans and all TDS/TCS certificates to
be issued. TDS/TCS returns will not be accepted if TAN is not
quoted and challans for TDS/TCS payments will not be
accepted by banks. Failure to apply for TAN or not quoting
the same in the specified documents attracts a penalty
of ₹10,000
