TDS on Purchase of Property

Ensure Proper TDS Compliance When Buying Property

Buying property involves more than just paying the seller and registering the property. Under the Income Tax Act, buyers are required to deduct tax at source (TDS) when purchasing certain properties.

Many property buyers are unaware of this rule until they receive notices or face issues while registering the property or filing their tax returns.

At N D Savla & Associates, we help property buyers complete TDS deduction, filing, and compliance requirements smoothly, ensuring the transaction follows all tax regulations.


What is TDS on Purchase of Property?

TDS on property purchase is governed by Section 194IA of the Income Tax Act.

If the value of a property transaction exceeds ₹50 lakh, the buyer must deduct 1% TDS from the payment made to the seller and deposit it with the Income Tax Department.

The buyer is responsible for:

  • Deducting TDS from the property payment

  • Depositing the tax with the government

  • Filing the required form with the Income Tax Department

  • Issuing a TDS certificate to the seller

This rule applies to residential properties, commercial properties, and land transactions, except agricultural land.


When is TDS on Property Applicable?

TDS must be deducted when:

  • The property value is ₹50 lakh or more

  • Payment is made to a resident seller

  • The property is not agricultural land

The TDS must be deducted at the time of payment or at the time of credit, whichever is earlier.

Even if the payment is made in installments, TDS must be deducted on each payment.


TDS Rate on Property Purchase

Under Section 194IA:

TDS Rate: 1% of the property value

If the seller does not provide a PAN, the TDS rate may increase significantly as per tax rules.

It is important to ensure that the PAN details of both buyer and seller are correct before filing the TDS form.
