Hi......can anybody answers the following issue?

1. In case the Sole proprietor is carrying on 2 business under different names, whether TAN (Tax Deduction Number) shall be taken in the name of the Individual or Business name?

2. If Business of the sole proprietor has several branches, then TAN shall be obtained in whose name?

Regards.....Sunil.

1. It is not compulsory to obtain two different TAN numbers.

2. If there are more than one branches also it is not compulsory to obtain two TAN unless the branches r having two different PAN no.s and filing seperate return of incomes.
