What Is TAN Correction?
A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.
A TAN correction updates the details linked to your TAN — the deductor name, category, address or contact details — when those records are wrong or outdated. The 10-character TAN number itself never changes; only the associated data is corrected.
TAN is the Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number allotted under Section 203A of the Income-tax Act, 1961, which every person deducting or collecting tax at source must quote. Changes or corrections to the particulars linked to an existing TAN are made through the "Changes or Correction in TAN Data" application processed via Protean (NSDL).
Administered by the Income Tax Department, with TAN allotment and data-correction services delivered through Protean (formerly NSDL) TIN and the income-tax e-filing portal.
A TAN has no expiry — it stays valid until surrendered. A correction only refreshes the linked particulars; a duplicate or unused TAN can be surrendered through the same data-correction facility.

What You’ll Receive
What Documents Are Required for a TAN Correction?
Requirements depend on the field being corrected. Keep clear scans (PDF/JPG) ready — everything is collected securely online, and we share an exact checklist based on the field you are correcting. No TIN-facilitation-centre visit is required.
Name / Category Change
Correcting the deductor name or category- Existing TAN details
- PAN of the deductor
- Incorporation / registration document (company, firm or LLP)
- Deed / agreement or name-change proof where the entity was renamed
Address / Contact Change
Updating communication address or contacts- Existing TAN details
- Valid address proof for the new communication address
- Responsible-person name, email and phone
- Board resolution / authorisation where required
Duplicate TAN Surrender
Surrendering a duplicate TAN- The TAN to be retained
- The duplicate TAN to be surrendered
- PAN of the deductor

The TAN number does not change
A correction updates only the particulars linked to the TAN. The 10-character TAN stays the same throughout — you never receive a new number.
Proof must match the field
Provide proof that supports the specific field being corrected — for example the PAN or incorporation document for a name/category change, or a valid address proof for an address update.
Keep the acknowledgement
Retain the acknowledgement number issued on submission. It is used to track the status of your correction request until the updated data reflects against the TAN.
Sync before your next TDS filing
Correct outdated TAN data before your next quarterly TDS/TCS return so future statements and Form 16/16A certificates carry the right particulars.
