Can I claim back TDS paid for the purchase of flat which is under construction after registration.
Dear Sir,
I have recently purchased a property and deposited the TDS to income tax department through Form 26QB.
Since there were 2 sellers involved the TDS deduction had to be done for both the sellers whereas I did it for only one seller for the entire amount due to no option available on the TDS deduction website for joint sellers.
The TDS paid needs to be split between the two sellers.
Request to let me know the process to correct the same and options available for correction if any.
Thanks
The buyer claims he need not provide 16B since he gave a copy of 26QB. The certificate’s code (6 digit alpha) is available in my 26AS. Is this enough, or should I insist on 16B?
Hi friends,
Please help me with some queries regarding 1% TDS on property (apartment), details below
Apartment Sale and Construction Agreement date: 07 June 2015
Total consideration value (sale+construction): more than 50L
First owner: wife. Second owner: myself (same in home loan account also). I am contributing to all the payments (100%) to the builder and SBI loan EMIs.
1st SBI Home loan disbursal: 18 September 2015 (FY 2015-16)
2nd (and last till now) SBI Home loan disbursal: 11 May 2016 (current FY 2016-17)
Apart from SBI Home loan disbursals, multiple NEFT payments done from May 2015 to May 2016 from my and my friend’s/family bank accounts to the builder’s current account.
No TDS paid till date because of unawareness (no form 26QB filled)
Query regarding filling Form 26QB for TDS on property:
1. What amount should I mention in wife’s form 26QB as she is not paying any amount. Still 50:50? Or I am ok to mention all the amount in my form 26QB only and skip even filling the wife’s form 26QB?
2. Can I mention the total amount paid to the builder till 11 May 2016 as one lumpsump amount to avoid penalties in form 26QB, I was unaware of this rule and just got to know about it when 70%-80% amount is already paid to the builder? Is there any way I can skip paying penalties here?
My apologies for the long post.
Thanks in advance,
Bhavesh

I have been purchased a Flat for the consideration of Rs. 90 Lacs in March 2015. I was forgot to deduct TDS on that transaction. Total amount paid to seller, and documents registered. Now I have received an intimation from CPC-TDS to deposit TDS. The Seller not co-operate me. He has been filed his IT Return for A.Y. 2015-16 and declare sold property in his return. Can I get his ITR copy, Computation of Income and make certificate from C.A. and submit it to department against non payment of TDS. Please reply as early as possible.
I had purchased a property in 2013 and the rule is also in place in April 2013. So not aware of such rule, now what is the way out to submit the tax and close the issue? Is there anyway to get waiver for late payment / penalty?
SUCH TYPE OF NOTICE RECD IN CASE WHERE AGREEMENT IS REGISTERED PRIOR TO 1.6.2013
I think that how the concerning registrar allow the purchase / sale without any hesitation and without asking a single word from the both side, — how may purchaser or seller aware the law. if any default arises from any side —- the Registrar should be responsible.
It seems that the Sub Registrars are not informed about this provision and hence the purchasers are not deducting tax, which results in payment of tax with interest at a later date after receipt of notice from I.T Department. Complications arises if by the time the seller has filed the return of income, he would not part with deductible amount and finally the TDS burden may fall upon the purchaser. To avoid such a situation the Sub Registrars should not register the document till he is satisfied that TDS made by the purchaser.
