This for a newly incorporated company doing works contract. The company has so far received only PAN and has applied for TAN. VAT registration and service tax registartion has not been done so far as the company is in the initial phase of obtaining projects. In this context  I would like to know what is the relevance of TIN. Can I apply it online?
