How to deposit TDS on Sale of Immovable property u/s 194IA?

TDS on Sale of Immovable Property u/s 194IA

Keeping in view the rising number of unaccounted transactions in real estate sector, the Government of India made a new reform applicable w.e.f  June 2013 as per which the purchaser of immovable property with value of Rs. 50 lakh and above should deduct 1% TDS at the time of making payment to the seller. The deal amount net of TDS shall be paid to seller and remaining shall be withheld by the buyer. The amount of this TDS should be deposited with Government within 7 days from the end of the month in which TDS is deducted.  Here is the guide about making payments of TDS by way of Form 26QB and obtaining form 16B for the buyer. This reform has been made to Income tax act by introducing section 194IA to the Act. The biggest relief that this section provides is that for complying with the provisions of this section there is no need to make an application for TAN(Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number).

Here is how you can make payment of TDS online:

Firstly go the following link

Then click on Form 26QB – Payment of TDS on Sale of Property

As soon as you click, Form 26QB will be opened in front of you

General Instructions:

Select (0021) in case of non corporate payer and (0020) in case of corporate payer. On filling in the various details called for in that form, click on ‘Proceed’ at the bottom of the page, this will then take you to the next page, which will give you the option to select your bank. Once you select the bank, then login using the normal online process for your bank. Once the payment is made the bank will let you print challan 280 with a tick on (800), which is payment of TDS on sale of property. Take a printout of the challan and keep the same for your records and for the builder/seller if required. This is the first phase of the process.

Common mistakes:

Please make sure you select correct Financial Year and Assessment year. Assessment year runs behind Financial Year.
PAN of both buyer and seller will have to be provided.
In case multiple seller’s buyer you will have to fill 26QB forms equivalent to number of sellers.
In case seller don’t have PAN this transaction can’t be made effective since payment can’t be deposited in absence of PAN of either of Buyer or Seller.
This TDS is applicable at time of payment, so in case of multiple payments TDS will have to be deposited in parts at each payment transaction.

There is also alternative mode payment if one does not have online banking registration.
One can fill in the form as above & while proceed there is option of “Subsequent payment through bank”
Choose that & it allows you to generate online receipt for Form 26QB with Acknowledgement Number. The receipt will be valid for 10 days from the date of generation online. The amount can be paid by visiting any of the authorized banks (list is given on the TIN.NSDL site) with cheque.
Bank will do online payment for you & generate Challan.

Second Step:

Generation of Form 16B:
Once this is completed one has to wait for seven days for the details to be reflected on TRACES web site – https://www.tdscpc.gov.in/.
 As a first time user, you will have to register on this website as Tax Payer with your PAN card no. & Challan no as generated while payment (no need to have TAN as already mentioned above)
Once you register whether as seller or buyer, you will be able to obtain the Form 16B or 26QB which has been approved and is reflected against your PAN in your Form 26AS. Check Form 26 AS after seven days and you will notice that the payment you had effected against TDS on sale of property is reflected in Part F of the Form 26 AS under ‘Details of Tax Deducted at Source on Sale of Immoveable Property u/s 194(IA) [For Buyer of Property]. This will give you details such as the TDS certificate number (generated by TRACES), name of deductee, PAN of deductee, acknowledgement number (same as above on Form 26QB), total transaction amount, transaction date, TDS deposited, date of deposit, status of booking and date of booking.
Once the payment is reflected in 26AS as above, you will have to go to the TRACES again. Login to the website & Go to ‘Download’ Tab & make application for request of Form 16B
To make a request for download, fill in the nine digit acknowledgment number & required details like address of property transferred, PAN of Seller as asked which is reflected on Form 26AS Part F as mentioned above.
It will give application & generates an application request number.
Once the request is placed it will be made available within 10to 15 minutes.
Now, click on ‘Downloads’ tab. In the dropdown menu click on ‘requested downloads’. You can filter by way of Request no or by Date filter or just click all requests and proceed.
You can see you request for Form 16B as Submitted/avaialble. If available simply download the file and if the status is still submitted then you will have to wait for an hour or so. The password to open the downloaded file is Date of Birth of deductor in DDMMYYYY format.

You can save the form for your further reference and also share the same with the seller.
