In the language file.
See htdocs/langs/<your_lang>/companies.lang

For my information, which language use “TIN Number” instead of “VAT Number” ?

Depending on what os you use, you can grep for VAT in the langs dir so you can see where it is used.
Try to see if you have the correct line in your language file, it should be same as in en_US/

@Saxa, the language am using is ENG_INDIA. Since it allows my Profoma Invoices to appear as Quotation on the pdfs created.

I have understood this, but you need if the language file has the correct string in it for the VAT where you need to change it.
Dolibarr translates the strings hardcoded and uses the part on the right side of the = sign to show the text on the webpage.
So if you do not have the correct string in your language file it will never appear.
What you need to do is to check the en_US language file, where the strin appears and use that same string in the same file to appear translated in the web page.
