TAN Registration

Documents Required

For individuals, no document needs to be submitted besides the application form and the fees when they are applying online. If you are applying offline or through an agent, you have to submit KYC documents, including:

1. A passport-sized photograph
2. Adhaar card for address proof

In the case of a partnership firm, here is the list of documents that you will have to submit along with your application form:

• A duly filled and signed application form
• A passport-sized photograph of the authorised partner
• ID proof of all partners
• Copies must be made on an A4 paper
• Address proof for the current office space
• The latest partnership deed
• Account statement of the company for the last three months
• Registration certificate for the business
• KYC details of one partner, including two passport-sized photos, government-issued ID proof, and address proof

Document Submission after Online Application

Once you have submitted the application online, you will receive an acknowledgement, which includes:
1. A unique 14 digit number
2. Status of your application
3. Name of the applicant
4. Contact details
5. Payment details
6. Space to provide your signature

This acknowledgement should be printed and saved. Thereafter, sign the printed acknowledgement in the required box. In the case of a partnership firm, the authorised partner must sign and affix the stamp or seal.

In case the applicant is using a thumb impression, the acknowledgement should be attested by a notary/magistrate or a gazetted officer with an official stamp.

Once this acknowledgement has been signed and attested, it should be submitted along with a DD or cheque.
