How to file TDS on the Sale of Property

Image
From June 1st 2013, when a buyer buys immovable property (i.e. a building or part of a building or any land other than agricultural land)  costing more than Rs 50lakhs , he has to deduct TDS when he pays the seller. This has been laid out in  Section 194-IA  of the Income Tax Act. Here are the requirements of this section: The buyer has to deduct TDS at  1%  of the total sale consideration. Note that the  buyer  is required to deduct TDS, not the  seller . No TDS is deducted if sale consideration is less than Rs 50lakhs. If installments are being paid TDS has to be deducted on each installment. Tax is to be paid on the entire sale amount. For example, if you have bought a house at Rs 55lakh, you have to pay tax on Rs 55lakh and not on Rs 5lakh (i.e. Rs 55lakh – Rs 50lakh). This is applicable even when there is more than 1 buyer or seller. If you are the buyer, you do not need to obtain a TAN (Tax Deduction Account Number) number. If you are the seller, you have to provide

With just a small amount as down payment, the rest of your property cost can be arranged through a home loan. Getting a home loan is easy, but have you read the fine print on the home loan agreement? If not, then you may be missing out important clauses of the loan agreement, which, if invoked, can land you into trouble. “While taking a home loan, most buyers focus only on basic factors such as interest rate, down payment and EMI.

However, a home loan is a major financial decision, the impact of which plays out over a long period of time. This agreement is binding on the customer during the entire tenure of the loan. It is therefore necessary to be aware about the important clauses in your loan agreement,” explains
