Substitute each capital letter in bold by a different digit from 0 to 9, such that (TAU).BETA when rounded off to the nearest integer is equal to PI, and the absolute difference of (TAU).BETA and PI is the minimum. Each of T, B and P is nonzero.

I underlined a little of your post there...
Do you mean PI as in π, the ratio of a circle's circumference to it's diameter?
If so since when is Pi an integer? Is that the puzzle here?

In the current puzzle, PI is a two digit positive integer in consonance with the requisite substitution in conformity with cryptarithmetic rules and does not have any connection with п.
The relevant definition of a cryptarithm is given here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbal_arithmetic).
