Hi there,
In your case, since your registered office is in Delhi and your branch in Mumbai is where actual sales/purchase happen, here’s how TAN and TCS deduction works:
-
Single TAN for Company:
TAN is generally allotted for the entire entity based on the location of the registered office. So, if you already have a TAN issued for your Delhi registered office, you do not need to apply for a separate TAN for the Mumbai branch.
-
Deducting TCS on Delhi TAN:
You can deduct TCS under the Delhi TAN even if the transactions happen in Mumbai, as TAN is linked to the entity, not branch-wise.
-
Filing TCS Returns:
While filing TCS returns, ensure that the correct branch address and deductee details are mentioned as per the place of transaction (Mumbai). But TAN will remain the Delhi TAN.
-
If Done Incorrectly:
Since you have been deducting TCS on the Delhi TAN, you are on the right track and don’t need to change anything now. Just continue filing returns under this TAN.
-
Exception – Separate TAN Required:
Only if you have multiple entities or separate PANs, each entity needs its own TAN. Branches of the same company do not need separate TANs.
Summary: You do not need a new TAN for Mumbai branch. Deduct TCS using Delhi TAN and continue filing returns accordingly.
