When it comes to purchasing property in India, it is crucial to understand the legal and financial aspects associated with it. One such aspect is Tax Deducted at Source (TDS), which plays a significant role in property transactions. In the case of property purchases in India, the buyer or new homeowner is responsible for paying the TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) to the government. The TDS amount is deducted from the payment made to the builder or seller at the time of purchasing the property.
Here are a few key points to remember:
TDS on the purchase of property applies to all types of immovable property, including residential, commercial, and land. Visit IIFL Home Loans for financing options, such as home loans and balance transfers at competitive interest rates for different types of properties.
The current TDS rate for property transactions is 1% of the property value if it exceeds Rs. 50 lakhs. For example, if the property value is Rs. 60 lakhs, the TDS amount would be 1% of Rs. 60 lakhs, i.e. Rs. 60,000. If the property value is below the above-mentioned threshold, TDS is not mandatory.
It is important to note that your responsibility as a buyer is not just limited to deducting the TDS, but also depositing it, and fulfilling the associated compliance requirements, such as filing Form 26QB and issuing the TDS certificate (Form 16B) to the seller. Failure to comply with these obligations can result in penalties and legal consequences.
Section 194IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961, is a provision that governs TDS on the purchase of immovable property. It specifically applies to transactions involving the purchase of any land other than agricultural land from one individual to another. It does not apply to transactions involving land purchased from companies, partnerships, or any other legal entities. The current TDS rate under Section 194IA is 1% of the transaction value.
As the buyer, you should deduct the applicable TDS on property purchase from the builder at the time of registration of the property or execution of the agreement, whichever occurs earlier.
The deadline for depositing TDS is typically within seven days from the end of the month in which the deduction is made. For example, if the TDS is deducted in June, it should be deposited by the 7th of July.
After payment, Form 26QB should be filed within 30 days from the end of the month in which the TDS is deducted.
Post the submission of Form 26QB, you will have 15 days to submit Form 16B to the builder/seller of your property.
Paying TDS on the purchase of property involves a few simple steps. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:
Step 1: Apply for a TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number) through the official website of the Income Tax Department. It is a unique 10-digit alphanumeric code. It is not required for immovable properties.
Step 2: File Form 26QB to report the TDS transaction. Provide accurate details about the buyer, seller, property, TDS amount, and other required information. PAN cards of both the buyer and the seller are required.
Step 3: You will receive a challan with a unique acknowledgement number. Use it to pay the TDS amount online through net banking or any other approved payment method.
Step 4: Once you have made the payment, the TDS certificate (Form 16B) will be available for download from the TRACES website in 5 days.
Only property purchases above Rs. 50 Lakhs are charged 1% TDS on the price of the property.
It is the buyers’ responsibility to deduct and make the TDS payment.
Important documents and forms include - PAN cards of buyers and sellers, form 26QB, and form 16B.
Deduct TDS on each payment in the case of instalments.
Failure to pay TDS can lead to penalties and interests, and in more serious cases, may have legal implications.
While it may seem a little complex, know that there is always help available at IIFL Home Loans. Read more on their website or reach out to financial advisors to clear your doubts.
TDS will be deducted at a rate of 20% when you purchase property from an NRI. It can go up to 30% if the property is sold within just 2 years of purchase.
