According to the provisions of section 203A of the Income-tax Act, it is obligatory for all persons responsible for deducting tax at source to obtain and quote the Tax-deduction Account No. (TAN) in the challans, TDS-certificates, statements and other documents. Detailed instructions in this regard are available in this Department's Circular No.497 (F.No.275/118/ 87-IT(B) dated 9.10.1987). If a person fails to comply with the provisions of section 203A, he will be liable to pay, by way of penalty, under section 272BB, a sum of ten thousand rupees. Similarly, as per Section 139A(5B), it is obligatory for persons deducting tax at source to quote PAN of the persons from whose income tax has been deducted in the statement furnished u/s 192(2C), certificates furnished u/s 203 and all returns prepared and delivered as per the provisions of section 200(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
All tax deductors/collectors are required to file the TDS returns in Form No.24Q (for tax deducted from salaries). As the requirement of filing TDS/TCS certificates has been done away with, the lack of PAN of deductees is creating difficulties in giving credit for the tax deducted. Tax deductors and tax collectors are, therefore, advised to quote correct PAN details of all deductees in the TDS returns for salaries in Form 24Q. Taxpayers liable to TDS are also advised to furnish their correct PAN with their deductors, It may be noted that non-furnishing of PAN by the deductee (employee) to the deductor (employer) will result in deduction of TDS at higher rates u/s 206AA of the Income-tax Act,1961.
