Change in Company Pan/Tan

Who Needs This Service

Companies that have changed their name, shifted their registered office, changed authorised signatories or found errors in their PAN or TAN details need this service. It is also relevant after a merger, conversion or restructuring that changes the entity's legal details.

Businesses that file TDS returns regularly should take special care. If the TAN details do not match the PAN or the company name, TDS credit may not be matched correctly in the deductee's Form 26AS, and notices can follow. Correcting mismatches early saves rework later.

It is useful as well for companies applying for bank loans, tenders or licences that require consistent records across PAN, GST and MCA. If the PAN data is out of date, the verification systems may reject your application.

Companies should also review their records after any significant change and make updates across all registrations together.

Timeline, Costs & Practical Tips

Practical tip: apply for the PAN update soon after the MCA change is approved, and check that the same details appear on your GST registration and bank KYC.

Additional Information

The Income Tax Act, 1961 and the Income Tax Rules provide for PAN as the identifier for taxpayers and TAN for persons deducting or collecting tax at source. The systems that match TDS credits, refunds and returns depend on consistent PAN and TAN details. When a company's name or address changes at MCA, the tax database must be updated too, otherwise notices, refund failures and TDS mismatches can result. This is why correction is not a cosmetic step but part of keeping tax compliance reliable.
