TDS is charged for purchasing a property :
 

With the initiative of the Government to keep a check on the extensive usage of black money in numerous immovable property transactions, the government of India has also introduced a law that any purchaser of the property would have to deduct tax at the source, i.e. TDS on the property at the time of paying the seller for the concerned property.

Is TDS on sale of property 0.75 or 1?

Under Section 194IA of the Income Tax Act, a buyer is necessarily required to deduct a TDS at a rate of 1% of the sales. This is indeed applicable in case the value of the payment is either Rs. 50 lakh or exceeding Rs. 50 lakhs.

The Section covers commercial property, residential property, and land as well.

You must note that the transactions that relate to the buying of agricultural land are not covered under this particular provision. The buyer is supposed to deduct the TDS on the concerned property at the time of crediting the agreed amount to the seller’s account or the time of payment, which one appears to be earlier.
 

How is TDS interest paid on sale of property?
 

You can pay the TDS, interest amount, and late payment cost as soon as you get a tax notice to avoid penalties. If no tax was deducted, you must pay interest at the rate of 1% per month, and if tax was deducted but not paid to the government, you must pay interest at the rate of 1.5% per month. According to Section 234E, there is a Rs. late filing fee.

It's also vital to remember that 1% TDS only applies if the seller is an Indian resident. The rate of TDS will change if the seller is an NRI, or a non-resident of India.

Reduce TDS Liability by submitting the Form 13 Application. To reduce TDS on a property sale, an NRI must submit an application in Form 13 to the income tax department, which will then issue a certificate for Nil/Lower TDS Deduction.
