Understanding TAN verification
What is TAN verification?
TAN verification is the process of confirming that a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number is genuine and belongs to the entity presenting it, by checking it against Income Tax records rather than trusting a number on a challan or a TDS certificate.
A business submits the TAN, VerifyAll returns the deductor details as held on record — the registered name, category, address and jurisdiction — and produces a report. It is used to confirm that a counterparty is a valid tax deductor before payments, TDS reconciliation or vendor onboarding.
Why businesses do it
To confirm a counterparty is a registered tax deductor before they deduct TDS on your payments, or before you accept their TDS certificates.
What it validates
That the TAN exists in Income Tax records, and the deductor name and jurisdiction registered against it.
How it fits into KYB
It is a tax-registration check on a business entity, run alongside GST and PAN verification.
When it is used
At vendor onboarding, TDS reconciliation, payroll-vendor checks and compliance reviews.
What it confirms
What a completed check confirms
The exact fields returned can vary by what Income Tax records hold for the TAN at the time of the check.
- The TAN is real and registered in Income Tax records
- Name of the deductor or collector as per records
- Category — company, firm, individual, government and so on
- Registered address of the deductor
- Assessing Officer (AO) code and jurisdiction
- Whether the TAN is currently active
