Book Identification Number

As part of the TDS process, deductors are required to fill Form 24G on a monthly basis. The same is then submitted to the Drawing & Disbursement Officer (DDO) for processing. Once this form is filled, a unique identification number called the Book Identification Number (BIN) is issued to the deductor on the NSDL Tax information Network. The BIN quoting has been termed mandatory for government deductors, who are reporting TDS without payment through bank challans and the same is to be stated on the quarterly TDS statement.

Procedure for performing a Book Identification Number (BIN) verification

Step 1: Visit https://onlineservices.tin.egov-nsdl.com/TIN/JSP/etbaf/ViewBIN.jsp to view/download the Book Identification Number details. The following details are to be entered on the portal:

a. Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) of the deductor
b. Nature of Payment: Under this, the deductor has to select an option from the following:
i. TDS - Salary - Form 24Q
ii. TDS - Non Salary - Form 26Q
iii. TDS - Non Salary - Non Resident - Form 27Q
iv. TCS - Form 27EQ
v. All Form Types
c. Accounts Office Identification Number (AIN): In order to view the details of a particular Area, the deductor is required to fill this field.

a. If the column states 'Amount Matched', then it is a valid Book Identification Number detail.
b. If the column states 'Amount Not Matched', it is an invalid Book Identification Number detail.

 

Consequences of non-quoting BIN

BIN details and the amount of TDS reported is to be verified by the amount recorded in Form 24G. In case, these amounts don't match the verification alert will declare 'Amount Not Matched'. When this happens, the credit available to the respective deductee will not be available in the Form 26AS corresponding to the deductee. Thus, the BIN should be accurate and must match the account.

1. Valid TAN must be provided to access the DDO records and only then, BIN will be generated.
