The Income Tax Department has introduced new TAN application forms under the Income-tax Rules, 2026. These forms replace the earlier process and bring a more structured and category-based approach for allotment of Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN).
New TAN Forms – Overview
The department has introduced two separate forms depending on the type of applicant:
Form 134 – For Government Entities
Applicable for:
- Central Government
- State Government
- Local Authorities
This form captures:
- Office and department details
- Ministry information
- AIN (Accounts Office Identification Number)
- Details of responsible officer
The form also includes a declaration confirming liability to deduct/collect tax and non-allotment of TAN earlier
Form 135 – For Other Applicants
Applicable for:
- Individuals
- Proprietors
- Firms / LLPs
- Companies
- Trusts / AOP / BOI
This form is more detailed and divided into categories (A to G), ensuring proper classification of applicants.
Key details required:
- PAN and applicant details

Proper category selection is mandatory, otherwise application may be rejected
TAN Correction Form (Important Update)
If you already have a TAN and want to:
- Change name

- Correct details
Then you must file a TAN correction form, not a new application.
All changes must be clearly marked and supported with documents
