If you make payment to any person which is subject to TDS deduction (specified U/s 192 to 196D) of Income Tax Act 1961 .Then you should deduct TDS as per prescribe rate while making the payment and quote his PAN so that he can claim Tax credit.
But If someone don't have a valid Pan then TDS should be deducted @ 20% (as per section 206AA).
In section 206AA specifies that The deductee shall furnish his Permanent Account Number to the deductor and both shall indicate the same in all the correspondence, bills, vouchers and other documents which are sent to each other.
In your case If your client make payment to any person which is subject to TDS deduction then PAN should be quoted in the bill, the deductor(your client) should also quote the Pan while preparing TDS Return Statement otherwise Demand Notice may be issued U/s 200A of IT Act .
But In Practical Scenario no one bother that Pan is mentioned in Bill or not, but it is mandatory to quote PAN in TDS Return Statement(i.e.,Form 26Q, Form 24Q or Form 27Q).
