Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is TAN mandatory for making TDS payments online?
    As per section 203A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 it is compulsory to quote Tax Deduction Account Number (TAN) on all TDS returns including all TDS payment challans and certificates. The TAN is allotted by the Income Tax Department and can be obtained online by filling Form 49B.
  • What if I quoted the wrong TAN unintentionally while making TDS payment?
    Clerical errors while making payments are possible, and hence the taxation department allows for corrections to be made to the challan. The consequences of the wrong challan are that the deductee will not be able to claim the credit. Hence corrections in the challan generated can be affected through TRACES (TDS Reconciliation Analysis and Correction Enabling Systems). Depending on the field that requires correction, either the assessing officer or Bank can authorize it. The Assessing Officer authorizes TAN/PAN corrections.
  • Can I view the TDS paid tax challans online?
    The tax department offers an online facility to view and enquire about challan status. By visiting the official portal of TIN-NSDL, taxpayers can monitor their challan deposits and therefore, can verify the details concerning their taxation related payment. TDS challan status can be tracked on the online mode via two views – TAN view and CIN view. In the TAN view mode of challan tracking, the TAN number serves as the identification number for challan tracking. For any tracking of transactions related to TDS deduction and remittance against the same, TAN is mandatory to be mentioned by the deductors. In the TAN view mode of challan tracking, the information which can be fetched includes the CIN (Challan Identification Number), Minor and Major Head Codes and the mode/nature of the payment. The deductor has to mention the TAN, and CTD (Challan Tender Date) and these details can be viewed. In the CIN mode, the challan number serves as the identification number. And the deductor can view all the relevant details.
  • How can I create a Nil TDS challan?
