It depends on how you account the amount.

If you are accounting this money towards registered sale deed then the necessary TDS as per law

TDS would be applicable to you as consideration is more than Rs 50 lakhs . Tax is deductible at the rate of 1% of the consideration payable to a resident transferor

2) It is the responsibility of the buyer to deduct the tax from payment to seller and deposit the same in the government treasury. Where the transaction is less than Rs 50,00,000 /-, the liability to deduct tax at source will not be applicable.

3) If a valid PAN is not provided by the seller, the tax rate would go up to 20%.

4) Online payment u/s 194IA is mandatory and the tax should be deposited on challan-cum-statement on Form No.26QB. Form No 16B (TDS Certificate) will be issued by the deductor within fifteen days from the due date of depositing tax.

There is no provision in law to buy a tenancy or pagdi system property by a registered sale deed.

If there is no registered sale deed then this transaction cannot be legally enforceable.

Buying a property on pagdi system cannot be termed as legal purchase.

So there is no question of TDS for unaccounted transaction.

1. TDS is deducted on the sale value.

2. By paying pagdi, you ae not buying the room but acquiring tenancy for the same.

3. Strictly speaking, TDS is not deductable on payment of pagdi which is considered as non-refundable advance payment before renting the room.
