Overview

What the Tan Validation Basic API does

Tan Validation Basic checks a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number and returns the taxpayer details registered against it.

Any entity deducting tax at source must hold a valid TAN, and it appears on every TDS certificate they issue. Verifying it confirms the deductor is genuine and that the certificates they provide are meaningful.
