Persons responsible for deducting or collecting tax at source under applicable provisions are generally required to obtain TAN. This can include companies, firms, LLPs, employers, government offices and other eligible deductors or collectors, subject to statutory exceptions.

PAN is a Permanent Account Number used for identifying taxpayers and their financial transactions. TAN is used primarily by persons responsible for deducting or collecting tax at source to report and deposit TDS or TCS. Both serve different purposes under the Income-tax law.

Under the earlier Income-tax Act, Section 272BB provided for a penalty of Rs. 10,000 in specified cases. The applicable penalty provisions should be checked for the relevant tax period.
