TAN application in India
A Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number identifies a tax deductor or collector. Before applying, check whether the transaction requires a TAN and whether the entity already has one.
Choose the current application form
For fresh applications from 1 April 2026, government entities use Form 134 and other applicants use Form 135. These forms replaced Form 49B. Existing TANs remain valid.
Prepare the applicant details
Use the official instructions for your entity type. Check the applicant’s legal name, address and contact details before submission. If you already have a TAN and need to change a detail, ask about the correction process before starting a fresh application.
Keep your acknowledgement
Retain the application reference and use the official status service to follow up. If you ask a practitioner for help, agree on their scope and separate any application charges from their professional fee.
