  1. Hey @Sofiyah_Valiante ,

    TAN is the short form for Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number.
    It is a 10 digit alphanumeric number. The first 3 alphabets represent the jurisdiction code, 4th alphabet is the initial of the name of the holder who can be a company, firm, individual, etc.
    It is to be obtained by all persons who are responsible for deducting tax at source (TDS) or who are required to collect tax at source (TCS).
