It is mandatory to quote TAN on TDS returns and challans. It is also required to be quoted in all correspondences with the IT Department.
Once a TAN is issued, it is valid for lifetime. However, TDS Filings must be made quarterly on the 31st day of July, October, January, and May. Non-filing of TDS filings within the due date will attract a penalty.
You can have multiple TAN for a single PAN. You can apply for different PAN for different branches of the same company.
