Our client is a foreign national and now he resides in India(From few years). He pays rent and it exceeds Rs.1.8 lacs p.a. Therefore he has to deduct TDS U/s 194I. To deduct and remit the TDS he should get TAN. Now the problem is, he is unable to register for TAN. Department people are saying TAN is only for Indians, he is a foreigner, so we cannot allot him TAN. If he did not deduct TDS, such portion will be disallowed from his excess of income over expenditure while computing income from profession. Please guide what to do.
