TIN & NSDL

August 26th, 2009

Tax Information Network (TIN), a repository of nationwide Tax related information, has been established by National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) on behalf of Income Tax Department of India (ITD). TIN is an initiative by ITD for the modernisation of the current system for collection, processing, monitoring and accounting of direct taxes using information technology.

TIN system:


TIN has three key sub-systems:

  • Electronic Return Acceptance and Consolidation System (ERACS) which consists of an infrastructure for interface with the taxpayers (a nation wide network of TIN-Facilitation Centres i.e. TIN-FC) and a web-based utility for upload of electronic returns of Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) & Tax Collection at Source (TCS) and Annual Information Return (AIR) to the central system of TIN.
  • Online Tax Accounting System (OLTAS) for daily upload to the central system, the details of tax deposited in various tax collecting branches across the country.
  • Central PAN Ledger Generation System (CPLGS) which is the central system that consolidates for each PAN:
    1. details of tax deducted/collected on its behalf (TDS/TCS) which is obtained by matching the TDS/TCS returns submitted by the deductors/collectors with the tax deposit (challan) information from the banks;
    2. details of the tax deposited (advance tax/self assessment tax) directly by the taxpayer with the bank;
