Applying for TAN? Here’s What’s Changed with the New Forms
If you’ve ever tried to deal with tax forms, you know how confusing even a small form can be. To make things easier, the Income Tax Department has replaced the old Form 49B with two new and simpler forms for applying for a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN).
Earlier, both government and non-government applicants used the same Form 49B to apply for a TAN. Now, there are two separate forms. Form 134 is only for government entities, while Form 135 is for everyone else, including individuals, companies, firms, and LLPs. This change is meant to make the process clearer and more relevant for each type of applicant.
