TAN login access: verify TAN linkage, reset TAN password, and clear browser cache to resolve access-denied errors.
Access denied on the Income Tax Portal with a TAN login typically reflects TAN versus PAN access differences, improper TAN linkage to the portal account, incorrect TAN credentials, or browser/cache interference. Remedy steps: reset the TAN password via the portal's forgot-password procedure, confirm you are using the portal section that accepts TAN (e.g., TDS filing/payment modules), verify TAN linkage in the account profile after signing in with PAN, clear browser cache or use incognito mode, and contact portal technical support if issues persist.
