It is a unique number used by income tax department to track every Tax Deducted at Source (TDS), Tax Collected at Source (TCS) transaction.
Where to Find the UTN?
UTN should be provided by the company/ person who deducts tax on your behalf and deposits the same. If your deductor has not provided you with the UTN for all your tax deductions, then the same can be obtained from NSDL, although this requires a 1 time registration.
I donot have UTN, Can I file my returns?
As on date, Income tax department is accepting returns at their office and website (eFiling) both without UTN. eLagaan supports UTN for tax preparation and has kept is optional.
Whenever, Income tax department stops accepting tax returns without UTN, eLagaan will keep track and make necessary changes to our systems. So you don't have to worry or keep a track about changing tax laws (learn more). All you need to do is use eLagaan to prepare updated tax returns as per latest income tax laws.

Income tax department confirms that no UTN is required. See our post at http://blog.elagaan.com/2009/07/income-tax-department-confirms-utn-not.html
It is still not clear whether Acknowledgements generated in respect of electronically filed ITRs (without digital signature) - and now without UTNs - are to be sent by post to Bangalore or to be physically submitted to the respective IT Circle offices.
It is already made very clear by the Income Tax department vide their CIRCULAR NO. 03 / 2009, DATED 21-5-2009, that all acknowledgment (ITR-V) pertaining to eFiling without digital signatures should be sent to CPC at Bangalore and will not be accepted at any of the Income Tax offices.
