TAN allotment applications require prescribed forms, timely filing, designated processing, and supporting identity and incorporation documentation.

Rule 216 requires TAN applications in Form No. 134 for Government entities and Form No. 135 for other applicants, subject to any notified common application form. Applications are made to the officer assigned the TAN-allotment function by the Director General of Income-tax (Systems), ordinarily before tax deduction or collection, or within 30 days from the end of the relevant month if not made earlier. Required proof of identity, address, and date of birth or incorporation must accompany the application.
