Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) are essential identifiers issued by the Income Tax Department of India. While PAN is mandatory for individuals and businesses to carry out financial transactions and file income tax returns, TAN is required for entities responsible for deducting or collecting tax at source (TDS/TCS).
Whether you’re starting a business, applying for GST, or hiring employees, PAN and TAN registration are the foundational steps toward legal and financial compliance in India.
