UTN stands for Unique Transaction number. This term will going to be used in the new TDS online payment to be applicable from 01.07.2009. When you will make a new online payment then system will generate a UTN for everypayment made by you. You need to mention this number in the TDS return as well as in the TDS certificare as well as the deductee in his income tax return.

agree with mr. tilak other points about utn is
In a circular dated May 21, 2009, CBDT, said, "The credit for any TDS...claim will be allowed...if the assessee quotes the relevant UTN for every TDS." Simply put, if a UTN is not mentioned against a TDS transaction then the tax already paid by the individual will be considered unpaid.
It then becomes necessary that companies, who deduct tax every month against salaries, provide employees with UTNs against these deductions. This UTN then needs to be mentioned in the Indian Income Tax Return form that is used for filing tax returns.
