TAN Validation API
Validate a Tax Deduction Account Number and retrieve the associated taxpayer details from tax records, for vendor, employer and deductor checks.
Overview
What the TAN Validation API does
TAN Validation checks a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number and returns the taxpayer details registered against it.
Every entity deducting tax at source must hold a valid TAN, and it appears on the TDS certificates they issue. Verifying it confirms the deductor is genuine and that the certificates they hand over actually mean something.
