Duplicate TAN |
What is duplicate TAN?
Ans. Duplicate TAN is a TAN which has been inadvertently obtained by a person who is responsible for deducting/collecting tax and who already has a TAN allotted to him. It is illegal to possess or use more than one TAN. Different branches/divisions of an entity may, however, have separate TANs.
In case duplicate TAN has been allotted, which TAN should be used?
Ans. In case duplicate TANs have been allotted, the TAN which has been used regularly should be continued to be used. The other TAN/s should be surrendered for cancellation using 'Form for Changes or Correction in TAN' which can be downloaded from NSDL-TIN website or may be procured from TIN-FCs or other vendors.
What should I do if I have been allotted a duplicate TAN by oversight?
Ans. In case duplicate TAN has been allotted, an application may be made for cancellation of the TAN which has not been used in the ‘Form for Changes or Correction in TAN’ which can be downloaded from NSDL-TIN website or may be procured from TIN-FCs or other vendors.
