Key Attributes of Form 26QB Under TDS Section 194-IA
In the Income Tax Act, 1961 few key rules have been framed that are related to the purchase and sale of immovable property. In the aforesaid transactions that come within the domain of Section 194-IA, the buyer (who is also called the deductor) has to deduct the TDS if the value of the transaction exceeds Rs 50 lakhs.
Thereafter, the deductor ought to issue Form 16B to the deductee (i.e.seller). All the requirements that are to have adhered to Form 26QB have been mentioned under Section 194-IA. They are as follows:
- As per Section 194-IA, the buyer ought to deduct the Tax Deducted at Source at the rate of 1% of the entire value of sales that is determined at the time of settlement of the transaction
- Tax Deducted at Source u/s 194-IA does not apply to the transactions that involve the buying and selling of agricultural land
- ‘TDS is not applicable to the transactions involving the sale of immovable property that is of value less than Rs. 50 lakhs. For transactions beyond the aforesaid limit, the TDS has to be deducted from the entire value of the transaction. For example, if the property costs Rs. 52 lakhs then you ought to pay TDS on the sum of Rs. 52 lakhs and not the sum of Rs 2 lakhs ( 52 lakhs – 50 lakhs)
- And If the payment has been made in instalments then the TDS is proportionately deducted from each individual instalment
- It is not necessary for the buyer to obtain the Tax Deduction Account Number (TAN) for deducting and depositing TDS. Nevertheless, the PAN is the mandatory requirement for both the buyer and the seller in case the TDS deduction occurs using Form 26QB
- The buyer ought to deposit TDS and submit the form 26QB via Gen TDS Software within 30 days calculated from the end date of the month in which TDS has been deducted
- In case there are multiple sellers and buyers who are involved in the transaction, the deductor shall be required to submit multiple forms i.e. Form 26QB
- Then after deducting and depositing the TDS, the buyer shall furnish the TDS certificate to the seller within the cap of 15 days of the transaction instead of deducting the tax and depositing it to the government
- Thereafter The buyer ought to obtain Form 16B and submit it to the seller
