    Sir/Mam,
    On 14th of May i have submitted TDS on property worth 71,00,000 as per old rate of 1% amounting to 71,000.
    on 13th of May the rates were revised to 0.75% which i was not aware of.
    Now the form 16B has been generated with the 0.75% rate.
    Please let me know the procedure to get back the excess amount of 17,750

  16. Ronney D'silva says:

    I made an online payment towards form 26QB but instead of paying the Fees, I paid the Income Tax by mistake. How do I get this corrected

    1. Pooja says:

      I too had done the same mistake. But, I think system considers fee with zero Income Tax as TDS.
      Later I was able to download the 16B from the traces. In 16B, fee amount is shown under Income Tax.

  17. Sandhya says:

    Buyer of the property has made the TDS payment and is reflecting in TIN – NSDL but not in TRACES website for the Seller.
    Buyer has made 1 % TDS pymt under 194LA – Payment of Compensation on acquisition of property as nature of payment but has mentioned AY incorrect.

    How is the correction to be made here?
    Not sure if buyer has done online form 26QB.
    How can this be reflected in Seller TRACES?

  18. PRASHANT DIXIT says:

    Sir,
    IF ANYBODY PAYS LESS AMOUNT WHILE DOING THE PAYMENT THROUGH INTERNET BANKING MODE, HOW THEY CAN PAY THE REMAING AMOUNT.
    i.e., THE AMOUNY IS 11,25,301.05, BASED ON THAT THE 1% TDS IS 11,254 BUT YOU ENDED UP PAYING 11,253.

    HOW CAN WE RECTIFY THIS.

    THANKS AND REGARDS

  29. GR says:

    Can 26QB be used for payments on purchase of property for NRI also (u/s 195 not u/s 194IA), or should 281 be used for that in which case TAN has to be obtained even if buyer is an individual.

    Thanks.
