The Income Tax Department facilitates taxpayers to track the status of their challan deposits through an Enquiry of Challan Status on TIN-NSDL website. Enquiry of challan status enables the taxpayers to verify whether their tax payments have been properly accounted for in their name. These services can be availed by both taxpayer and banks.
Challan Enquiry – Taxpayers
Challan Identification Number- Challan Identification Number (CIN) is a proof of payment of tax, as well as a necessary resource that can be used for making status enquiries. The taxpayer is required to ensure that CIN is stamped on the challan by the bank. If it is not, the assessee may approach the bank requesting the stamp to be affixed. If the bank is unable to handle the issue, the grievance must be intimated to the Bank’s Regional Manager and the Regional Office of Reserve Bank of India. CIN consists of three parts:
- Seven digit BSR code of the depository Bank Branch.
- Date of Deposit.
- Serial Number of Challan.
CIN Based View- The taxpayer can view the following details after entering the Challan Identification Number (CIN):
- BSR Code
- Date of Deposit
- Challan Serial Number
- Major Head Code With Description
- TAN/PAN
- Name of Tax Payer
- Date of Receipt of TIN
- Confirmation of the correctness of the amount entered if it was specified earlier
Status Inquiry for taxpayers
Status of TDS Challan can be checked either by using CIN or Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) of deductor. While, status enquiry for all kinds of tax payments can be made using CIN based view, status enquiry for TDS challan can be made using both CIN and TAN based view. Challan Status may be viewed after a week from depositing the challan with the bank.
While making the query on website, if the following message is displayed ‘no records found for the above query’ or if there is any other discrepancy in the data, taxpayer may enquire with the bank where tax has been deposited. In case of no satisfactory reply, taxpayers may email/write to National Securities Depository Ltd.
Procedure for Checking Challan – CIN Based

TAN
Abbreviated as Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number, TAN is a 10 digit number issued on an individual basis for the purpose of deducting or collecting tax on payments remitted by them. Section 203 of the Income Tax Act mandates every taxpayer who is liable to deduct tax at source to quote their TAN number in all their correspondences with the Income Tax Department. TDS Returns and Payments wouldn’t be processed without compliance with the same.
