Under The Income Tax Act, 1961, few key rules regarding sale and purchase of immovable property have been laid out. Such transactions are covered under Section 194-IA. The buyer of property, also known as the deductor, is required to deduct TDS from the consideration payable to the property seller. This is required if the transaction value is more than Rs. 50 lakhs and the deductor is required to issue Form-16B to the deductee (seller). All such requirements for Form-26QB have been listed under Section 194-IA. So in this guide, we have explored everything that you need to know about form 26QB.
According to Budget 2022 plans, section 194-IA will be amended to include the stamp duty value of such property in the calculation of TDS. TDS of 1% will be calculated on the sale based on the property's stamp duty value, whichever is higher.
The property here includes every immovable property like:
And all such other properties except agricultural land. TDS needs to be deducted only on the transactions where sale proceeds are of Rs.50,00,000 (Fifty Lakhs) or more.
TDS is to be deducted from the stamp duty value of the property if it is more than the sale value. For example, if Mr B purchased a property from Mr S for a sum of 60 Lacs, but the stamp duty value of such property is 65 Lacs, then under the new amendment, TDS of 1% will be calculated and deducted on a total of 65 Lacs, i.e. 65,000/-, and Mr. B will be paid 59.35 Lacs.
The amount of Rs.65,000 (Sixty Thousand) deducted as TDS by Mr B shall be deposited to the government within 7 days of the next month in challan Form 26QB (TDS on Property).

TDS under Section 194IA needs to be deducted on the total value including stamp duty and not on the value inclusive of applicable taxes. Say, the property is sold at Rs. 60,00,000 and GST applicable on Rs. 6,00,000. In this case the TDS u/s 194IA would be deducted on Rs. 60,00,000 and not on Rs. 66,00,000.
TDS rule was brought to effect to keep a track of transactions related to the sale and purchase in the real estate sector. This was done because it is a highly speculative market where transactions are done partly in cash and partly through baking channels. This change will also assist the government in clearly recognising instances in which a property is purchased for less than its stamp value.
Taxpayers will be liable to pay Interest @1% or 1.5% as the case may be and a penalty which may extend to Rs.100000/- under section 271H.
