Nikhil Process one is correct that it is for multiple TAN. But as per new rules if u do not deposit TDS for 3 or more quarters it automatically get canceled. Coz u cant give NIL return of TDS, u have only to intimate to the cpc via mail that no TDS is deducted for the following quarter. So they will auto cancel the TAN, and u have to apply for a new one if any deduction is there for any FY or part.

Hello, I have come to know that if we do not have a liability for payment and TDS Returns we have to give a declaration to that effect in TRACES Portal.
Now my question is is there any penalty if we do not give any such declaration ?
