2) If advance payment is being made then TDS would be required to be deducted at the time of advance payment itself. Payments in Installments If payment is made in installments, the TDS would be required to be deducted at each such installment 

3) for Rs 20 lakhs payment made TDS has to be deducted and balance payment . Similarly for Rs 120 lakhs TDS has to be deducted at 1 per cent

Anyone buying real estate worth more than Rs 50 lakh has to deduct 1% of the price of the property before paying the seller. That 1TDS has to be deposited with the tax department using Form 26QB.

For payment of TDS amount you may follow the following procedure:

Income Tax Department

  1. Go to TIN NSDL website​ ( www.tin-nsdl.com ).​
  2. Under 'TDS on sale of property', click on "Online form for furnishing TDS on property (Form 26QB)" or click here.
  3. Select the applicable challan as "TDS on Sale of Property".
  4. Fill the complete form as applicable.

Section 194IA of Income Tax Act, requires a buyer to deduct tax at the rate of 1% of the sale consideration, if the value of the transaction is Rs 50 lakhs or more. This section covers residential property, commercial property, as well as land.

 

The purchaser of the property has to deduct the TDS, either at the time of executing the conveyance deed, or at the time of payment of advance in case any advance is being paid before the execution of the conveyance deed. The buyer has to deposit the TDS amount to the credit of the central government, within 30 days from end of  the next month in which the tax is so deducted. For payment of the TDS and furnishing other particulars, you have to fill in Form-cum-challan No 26QB. If a property has more than one buyer and/or seller, you need to fill in separate Form 26QB for each set of buyer and seller. The details of all buyers and sellers, have to be submitted in each Form 26QB.

Dear Client,

TDS will be 1% of sale amount and same shall be mention in sale deed. You can deduct while paying first installment.

The buyer has to deduct TDS @ 1% of the total sale consideration. Note that the buyer is required to deduct TDS, not the seller. No TDS is deducted if sale consideration is less than Rs 50 lakh. If installments are being paid, TDS has to be deducted on each installment.

Seller you have to provide PAN or else TDS is deducted at 20%. TDS has to be deposited along with Form 26QB within 7 days from the end of the month in which TDS was deducted.

Any person who purchases immoveable property worth more than Rupees fifty lakhs has to deduct Tax at 1% on the amount payable( price of the property) to the seller and remit it to the Tax Department. Form to be used is 26QB. 
TDS is applicable to the total price and not the amount exceeding 50lakhs.
This has to be deposited with the department within seven days from following the month of making the payment.

For every payment you make to builder, you have to deduct TDS at prescribed rate

So even if you pay consideration in parts, you have to deduct TDS on each part

Write in agreement-

All payments are subject to TDS deduction
