a person who is liable to deduct tax at source from any payments made such as Rent, contractor payments, professional fees etc.. if they exceed the prescribed limit during the F.Y. then he needs to deduct at source. For this purpose he needs to obtain Tax Deduction Account Number(TAN) and quote it in the challan/Returns.
TAN is compulsory in case of companies/partnership firms and shud be obtained within a period of 30 days from the date of deduction of tax at source for the first time.
In case of individuals TDS shud be made only if the assessee is liable to Tax Audit u/s 44AB of the I-T Act.
