ONLY ONE TAN.
06 April 2010
You can have the one TAN for the whole company
or
Alternatively you can also have the different TAN for different branches/division. If the responsible person for deduction of tds is different in different location, then you can apply for different TAN for difference branches/divisions.

Here’s a clear explanation for your query on TAN for companies with multiple branches:
---
### How Many TANs Should a Company Have?
* **One TAN for Entire Company:**
* Generally, a company (including Pvt Ltd) **can operate with a single TAN** for all its branches across India.
* This simplifies TDS compliance and returns filing.
* **Multiple TANs for Different Branches:**
* You **can apply for multiple TANs** if different branches/divisions have **different responsible persons** for TDS deduction and compliance.
* For example, if Branch A handles TDS deduction separately from Branch B with different accounts teams or legal entities within the same company.
* This is allowed and often useful for large companies with decentralized operations.
---
### When Should Multiple TANs Be Taken?
1. **Different Responsible Persons:**
* Each TAN is linked to a responsible person.
* If branches have different responsible persons for TDS deduction, they **should apply for separate TANs**.
2. **Separate Legal Entities:**
* If branches are distinct legal entities or separate companies, then each must have its own TAN.
3. **Operational Convenience:**
* Sometimes companies prefer separate TANs for ease of accounting and compliance at each location.
---
### Summary:
| Condition | Number of TANs |
| ------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------- |
| Single responsible person for all branches | **One TAN** |
| Different responsible persons per branch | **Multiple TANs, one per branch** |
| Different legal entities/companies | **Separate TANs for each entity** |
---
If your client wants to maintain a single TAN, that is fully permissible unless branches have different TDS responsible persons.
