TDS on Property Purchase in India (Section 194IA)
Under Section 194-IA of the Income Tax Act, a buyer purchasing immovable property (other than rural agricultural land) from a resident seller must deduct 1% TDS when the sale consideration or stamp duty value is ₹50 Lakhs or more. The TDS is calculated on the higher of sale consideration and stamp duty value. This TDS must be deposited using Form 26QB within 30 days from the end of the month of deduction.
How to File Form 26QB for TDS on Property
- Visit incometax.gov.in or tin-nsdl.com and select "e-Payment of TDS on Property"
- Enter PAN details of both buyer and seller, property details, and payment information
- Pay the TDS amount online via net banking or debit card
- Download the acknowledgment and generate Form 16B for the seller
- For joint buyers or sellers, each buyer-seller combination generally needs a separate Form 26QB for the actual share
Buyer compliance check
Do the TDS math before registration day.
For Bengaluru and Karnataka property purchases above the threshold, buyers often need to coordinate agreement value, stamp duty value, seller PAN, number of buyers, number of sellers, and Form 26QB filing. Missing this before registration can delay payment settlement and documentation.
Use the calculator to estimate the deduction and then validate the exact filing workflow on the income tax portal. For joint buyers or joint sellers, check whether separate challan-cum-statements are needed for each buyer-seller combination.
