    If sale price of under-construction flat is 1 Crore (with 5% GST on top) then TDS is to be paid only on 1 Crore i.e. 1 Lakh, understood.

    However here’s the million rupee question that NO site ever answers – Is the GST to be paid 5% of the full 1 Crore, or 5% of 99 Lakhs (after TDS deduction)? The former doesn’t make sense to me as it would mean paying GST on the TDS amount too (i.e. tax on tax), but maybe the govt. is just that greedy? Please do clarify!

    1. Navneet says:

      As per my opinion, GST is to be paid 5% on full INR 1 crore as GST is paid on gross amount not after deduction of TDS as the value of supply under GST is INR 100 and it has no link with TDS. Further, for example – if you raise a professional services bill of INR 100 + 18% GST, then the service receiver will deduct TDS on INR 100 not INR 90 (100 – 10%TDS). Hope you understand.

  2. Pankaj says:

    As per your procedure, the same TIN-NSDL- TDS on sale property, web site is not accessible to from last 4 days. I had already did 5 times payment through this web site. Kindly suggest.

  3. VINOD KUMAR says:

    I booked a flat of ₹62,5000/- and as per demand of builder, payment is to be made in two instalments, 50% at the time of booking and 50% after 90 days. I have made 10% and 40% payment through self and my bank (Loan financed).
    It may kindly confirm whether 1% TDS is to be deducted today or after completing of 100% payment.
    Secondly… whether this amount (1% TDS is additional amount of my flat)
    Thirdly, whether I should pay full amount of my flat including 1% TDS

    1. Navneet says:

      1. In relation to your first query, TDS is to be deducted at the time of payment.

      2. In relation to your second query, TDS amount is to be deducted from total amount of consideration payable to the seller. For Example- if you are paying Rs 100 to seller, then you pay Rs 99 to seller after deducting Rs 1 as TDS. Such TDS should be deposited with govt.

      3. In relation to your third query, as mentioned in second query, TDS should be deducted from the full amount and not paid to the seller.

    Total value of property is 1 core 10 lakhs. 1/4 share sold for 27.5 laks to A, 1/4 share sold to B, 1/4 share sold to C and 1/4 share sold to D by separate documents for 27.5 lakhs each and registered in same day. how TDS applicable for these transactions?

    1. Navneet says:

      As the individual share sold is less than Rs. 50 lakhs per transaction and assuming separate sale deed is executed for each transaction, then TDS is not applicable on all 4 transactions.

  5. Mohamed says:

    the total value of property is 1 core 10 lakhs, 1/4 share sold to A, for 27.5 lakhs by one document, then 1/4 share sold to B, 1/4 share sold to C and 1/4 share sold by separate documents for 27.5 Lakhs each and registered same day. In this case Tds applicable or not?

  6. Amit sahasrabudhe says:

    The Sellers of joint property of worth 80Lakh, value is 80Lakh of three daughters as a legal heirs. Total mony is distributed each in equal parts. amount is received each daughters less than 50Lakh. In this case TDS should be deducted or not pls clarify.

    1. Navneet says:

      In this case, as the sales value is less than Rs. 50 lakhs in the hands of each daughter, all the 3 daughters are shown as joint holders of the property in the sale deed executed and share of money is given in the bank account of all 3 daughters. Then, TDS will not applicable.

  7. Shristi Shah says:

    Hi, I have purchased a property and deducted 1% TDS every time while making payment to seller which included GST amount as well. Now the seller is saying that tds should be paid excluding gst amount. How can it be fixed for already paid amount to the government through 26QB. Kindly share a remedy.Thanks.

  8. S Panda says:

    The sellers of a joint property of worth 70lakhs are mother, daughter and son as legal heirs. The total money is paid to the mother only. In that case, How many TDS Challans are to be made by the single buyer?

    1. Navneet says:

      TDS to be deposited is on the basis of number of sellers not on the basis of to whom money was paid. Therefore, in your case TDS is to be deposited under 3 PAN in 3 Challans.
