TAN can be applied by all persons - individual/firm/company/AOP/BOI/Artificial juridical person. If 2nd party as you said is having and running its business on properietorship/HUF TDS u/s 194C (Contractor) is 1%. In any other case it is 2%.
CA who is signing in any letter which showns the status of the organisation as properietorship is writing 'partner' with his name only because the relevant CA is a partner of the auditor's firm. In other words the 2nd party's chief accountant/auditor is a firm and the relevant CA is a partner in that firm.
