FAQs
- I have bought a property for residential purpose. Do i also need to deduct TDS? If yes then on what value?
TDS has to be deducted by every buyer on purchase of an immovable property being building/land other than agriculture land if the purchase value exceeds Rs. 50 lakh.
TDS is to be deducted from whole amount to be paid. For eg. if a property is bought for Rs 70 lakh then TDS has to be deducted on the entire amount that is Rs 70 lakh, not on just the Rs 20 lakh that exceeds the Rs 50 lakh threshold.
- I am a property buyer. What should I do if I don’t have the PAN of the seller(s)?
PAN of the seller is mandatory for deducting TDS and filing Form 26QB. It is buyer’s responsibility to acquire the PAN from the seller(s) before effecting the transaction. Neither the buyer, nor the seller is required to procure the TAN. Only PAN of both the parties is to be quoted.
