Note regarding TDS on sale of property
The buyer is required to deduct 1% TDS of the total sale consideration on
immovable property other than agricultural land if the sale consideration
exceeds Rs. 50 lakhs.
TDS will be deducted on the entire amount of sale
There is no need of obtaining TAN by the buyer except for purchase from NRI
If PAN is not available TDS will be deducted at the rate of 20%.
Buyer should also show PAN number.
TDS has to be deposited along with Form 26QB within 7 days from the end of the month in which TDS was deducted.
Buyer should issue TDS certificate to the seller. Buyer requires Form 26QB.
TDS is required to be deducted in all cases irrespective of the capital gains arising to seller.
In case of home loan, TDS is to be deducted at the time of making payment to the seller, not at the time of paying EMI to the bank.
In case of two or more buyers, separate Form 26QB is to be filled.
Both buyer and seller are required to file income tax return in the year of purchase.
In case there are two buyers and the share of each individual is less than Rs.
50 lakhs but aggregate value of land is more than Rs. 50 lakh, the same
procedure of deducting the TDS will be followed by buyer.
Penalty for nonpayment or delayed TDS on property
In case TDS is not deducted by the buyer then he is required to pay interest at
the rate of 1% per month as penalty on the amount not deducted.
In case TDS is deducted but not paid on time, then the buyer has to pay interest at the rate of 1.5% per month as penalty for delayed TDS payment.
Penalty for late filing of form 26QB
In case buyer gets late in filing TDS return, a penalty of Rs. 200 per day would
be levied.
Refund of Extra tax or TDS deducted
If the tax liability of the assessee is less than the TDS amount, the
difference amount can be claimed at the time of filing income tax return.
The extra amount will be refunded to the bank account of the assessee.
