The purpose of PAN and TAN are entirely different, and hence they cannot be
used interchangeably. Further, a PAN holder is not required to obtain TAN till the time he is liable to deduct TDS/TCS (other than under section 194-IA), however, a person needs to obtain a PAN if he wants to apply for TAN.
