Guidelines for Filling Application Form 49B

As Form 49B has a lot of sections, the applicant needs to fill the form carefully for the TAN application to be accepted.

Listed below are some important points that the applicant needs to keep in mind while filling form 49B:

1.  Form 49B is to be filled only in English and in capital letters so that the entries are legible.
2.  While filling the form, every text box should have one letter in it for better readability and clarity.
3.  Details of assessing officer need to be furnished by the deductor or collector of tax. These details can be accessed from the Income Tax Office, in case they are not available.
4.  The details pertaining to area, area code, district, etc., also needs to be furnished by the tax collector or deductor. The Income Tax Office may be consulted to know the details prior to filling up Form 49B.

1.  In case, the left-hand thumb impression is used for signing the form, the same should be attested by a gazette officer, a notary, or a magistrate.
2.  Only individuals who apply for TAN can put in their left thumb impression. Those who apply under other 'category of deductors' need to sign the printout of the acknowledgement slip.
