Tax Information network or TIN as it is commonly known is being set up in most states and cities to enable those who are paying and deducting tax at source for their employees to pay up to the government. TIN NSDL facilitation centers in Maharashtra can be seen in most of the important centers as this will ensure that those paying up the tax do not have to travel long distances in order to pay up the tax. At these centers, they can submit up all the paperwork and this gets uploaded on the portal and this will help in calculating the tax for the individuals based on their unique PAN.
Process followed at the centers
TIN is an initiative of the Income Tax Department created when the need for automation or computerization came up. This is a good example of using the latest technology whether the government is collecting, storing or tracking in addition to keep a tab on the tax that each of the tax payers has paid which will lead to correct tax from each of the assesse. The network spreads across the entire country and hence has the complete repository of the information no matter where the same is paid. There are many such TIN NSDL facilitation centers in Mumbai and you could choose to go the one close to you to use the services.
Tax collection at source (TCS) and TDS (tax deduction at source) are both loaded into the central system that is based in the Tax information network and every single day, the feed about the total amount of tax paid in each of the TIN NSDL facilitation centers in Maharashtra flows into the central server and then, the report can be pulled up from there on the details about the tax paid in total.
Service offered at the centers
At TIN NSDL facilitation centers in Mumbai, or anywhere in the country, one can either submit the TCS or TDS forms, give in requests for new or modified PAN cards or TAN or submit the AIR or 24G that is all linked to the central system thereby giving a completely coherent system. In addition to these services that are offered at the centers, there are quite a few other services that the users can choose to opt for when they log in to the website of the Tax Information Network.
Web services
Customers can submit their taxes online or look through the summary of their tax statements, make any amendments to them apart from raising any questions on their bank challans or checking out the status on their PAN or the TAN.

One can also just file the e-RI or the e-return Intermediary by just logging into the website right from the comfort of the homes.
