- As per Section 194-IA , when a buyer buys immovable property i.e. a building or part of a building or any land other than agricultural land , costing more than Rs 50 lakhs, he has to deduct tax at source (TDS) when he pays the seller.
- Further , the buyer has to deduct TDS@1% of the total sale consideration and not the seller.
- Further , No. TDS is required to be deducted if sale consideration is less than Rs 50 lacs, and TDS should be paid on the entire sale amount.
- Hence, you should apply for a loan amount less than 50 lac i.e 49.5 lac to save the tax on your end.
- Further, the seller is not sure about the rules of income tax , you should aware him that this 50,000 , the buyer will have to deduct and not the seller from the amount of Rs.50 lac.
- For the extra amount, you should take an undertaking from the seller , and better take a post dated cheque for the said extra amount , and return the same at the time of receiving extra amount from him .
