Invalid, inoperative, or non-compliant PANs can flow into vendor onboarding and payment workflows, surfacing later as higher TDS deductions, reconciliation issues, and compliance risk. Checking 206AB applicability at the point of payment helps identify such cases early.
Missing 206AB checks can result in incorrect TDS deductions, adjustments, and compliance issues during payment processing.
Teams often rely on manual PAN and tax-status checks, slowing down vendor onboarding and high-volume payment workflows.
Without automated eligibility checks, businesses may apply standard TDS rates when higher rates are required under applicable tax provisions.
