How to Register Deductor on Reporting Portal for 206AB/CCA Verification:
Compliance Check for Section 206AB & 206CCA
Background:
The Finance Act of 2021 introduced Sections 206AB and 206CCA into the Income-tax Act, 1961, effective from July 1, 2021. These sections impose a higher Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) or Tax Collected at Source (TCS) rate on "Specified Persons" as defined within the new sections.
In response to this, the Income Tax Department has introduced a new functionality, "Compliance Check for Sections 206AB & 206CCA," aimed at assisting tax deductors/collectors in verifying whether a person falls under the category of "Specified Person" as per Sections 206AB & 206CCA. This functionality is accessible through the Reporting Portal of the Income-tax Department (https://report.insight.gov.in).

Overview:
The "Compliance Check for Sections 206AB & 206CCA" functionality enables tax deductors/collectors to verify if a person is a "Specified Person" as defined in Sections 206AB & 206CCA. This functionality is available to the Principal Officers of the registered Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) at the home page of the Reporting Portal after login.

To execute this process through the software, follow these steps:
Step 1:

ITDREIN - Income Tax Department Reporting Entity Identification Number (ITDREIN) is a system-generated 16-character identification number allotted by the Income Tax Department to an Entity once the registration process is completed.

For activation of the Principal Officer’s account, below mentioned steps are to be followed:
      1. The principal Officer receives an e-mail along with temporary credentials.
