I have been trying to find correct AO Code for individual who is living in Bangalore, with annual TDS/TCS > 10 Lakh and name from R to Z.

When I select other cities like Mumbai in TAN application, it is much easier to find AO code, however for Bangalore, I do not really see any option that fits my criteria. For half of wards, the remark section is empty. For section where remarks are present, it does not fit the criteria. Is this expected?

How does one manage through such scenario?

Check the CBDT website and use the Income tax department website and search for A.O.code using the option "Know Your AO" feauture

The AO code for TAN depends on your business address and entity type. On the NSDL Form 49B portal, you pick Area Code, Range Code, and AO Number from dropdowns for your state and city. For proprietors and individuals, use the AO range for your residential city, not the company or corporate AO range. If you have already submitted with the wrong code, you can file a TAN correction request (Form 49B with changes). For complete TDS and TAN setup for your business, Tax Garden handles this end to end under [TDS compliance services](https://taxgarden.in/services).
