Dear Sir,
Please explain me the following case:
Mr. A is buying a Property for Rs. 2,00,00,000/- from Mr. B.
Since the Land is Leasehold it takes time to get Freehold and until the Land is Freehold it is not allowed to Transfer the Property and execute Sale-Deed.
Now both Mr. A & Mr. B enter into a Registered Agreement to Sell Without Possession and Mr. A pays Rs. 1,00,00,000/- at the time of Registration of the said Agreement.
The date of Agreement is 02-06-2014.
Since Freehold procedures take time it may be possible that the Sale Deed may be executed in the next Financial Year.
My Question is that is it necessary to deduct TDS @ 1% at the time of Execution of Agreement to Sell Without Possession or it will be deducted at the time of Sale Deed and if it is to be deducted when will it be deducted?

What is the amount to be deducted for cases where partial payment is already done? In my case, about 60 Lakh is pending out of 1.2 Cr. Is the TDS to be paid on 60 Lakh or 1.2 Cr?
Registration will not be done by the registrar without this TDS challan. Hence question of non deposit of tax will not arise
@Nirav
TDS is required to be deposited by 7th of following month i.e. 7th july and 7th sept as per your example.
However in case deduction is made in month of march then deposit is required to be made by 30 April of following year.
@Harendra
TDS is required to be deducted on whole amount and not only on land cost
@satish
PAN is required to be quoted in Challan cum statement form 26QB, so there would be no difficulty in claiming refund
dear friend,
This is a nice provision to control the immovable property transaction. However, it will be definitely troublesome to the deductee to claim the TDS in his return of income, since no PAN is required. It is because, the TDS issue have been proved as a very Tedious to tackle with the income tax department, even if proper PAN is there.
I need one Clarification regarding TDS ON TRANSFER OF IMMOVABLE PROPERTY. The TDS is to be Deducted @ 1% for Total Consideration or Only for Land Cost which should exceed more than 50 lakhs. Kindly Clarify WITH NOTIFICATION OR CIRCULAR .
Facility for offline payment has been made available now. ePayment is not mandatory. Refer NSDL website for more details.
Within how much days TDS has to be deposited to Govt A/c., I mean if i have paid Rs. 30 Lacs on 01/06/13 and 30 lacs are payable on/by 01/08/13 (supposingly by bank Finance) in such case TDS should be deposited by which date.
I mean due dates for tds payaments
How does the section apply in case a unit is purchased by more than one owners? Also,what are the remedies available with the developer if the transferee does not withhold tax or does not deposit the same or does not maintain adequate documentation? And as a measure of potential risk mitigation and administrative easiness, can the developer take the entire amount of tax to be withheld upfront from buyer and undertake withholding compliances on the buyer’s behalf?
