Surrendering of TAN can be done in two situations;
CASE 1- Where duplicate TAN has been allotted; CASE 2 – Where TAN allotted, is not required anymore.
In CASE – 1 approach NSDL for cancellation of the ‘Duplicate –Unused TAN. For this, an application Form, which is applicable for ‘Changes & Correction of TAN’ needs to be used. The same can be downloaded from the NSDL website and is also available with TIN-FCs. The application can be made online as well as in physical form. In this way, the ‘Duplicate TAN can be cancelled.
In Case 2, Application is required to be made on plain paper with the jurisdictional A.O. (TDS), requesting for cancellation of TAN and state reasons for such a request.
