What is the difference between PAN and TAN?

Two of the most important documents for taxpayers and tax-collectors in India are the Permanent Account Number (PAN) and the Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN).

While PAN is issued to individuals and organizations which have to pay taxes, TAN
is for businesses and organizations that deduct/collect taxes at source.

Here, we explain the difference between the two.

What is PAN card?

Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a unique, ten-digit alphanumeric identity issued by the Income Tax Department to all individuals as well as organizations which pay taxes.

PAN facilitates instrumental financial transactions such as tax payments, entering certain financial contracts, making larger cash deposits, applying for credit/debit cards, filing I-T returns, among others.

It also serves as a government-verified proof of identity.
