TAN Application - Confusion in Choosing Right AO Code

TDS & TCS 1961 TRACES

I have been trying to find correct AO Code for individual who is living in Bangalore, with annual TDS/TCS > 10 Lakh and name from R to Z.

When I select other cities like Mumbai in TAN application, it is much easier to find AO code, however for Bangalore, I do not really see any option that fits my criteria. For half of wards, the remark section is empty. For section where remarks are present, it does not fit the criteria.

How does one manage through such scenario?

To resolve confusion when choosing a Bangalore AO code for a TAN application with blank or unclear remarks, use the designated default city AO code, look up details via the e-filing portal, or verify the appropriate Circle/Ward directly through the local Income Tax Office.
