What is TDS on Property Sale?

TDS, or Tax Deducted at Source, is a tax mechanism where the buyer of an immovable property (other than agricultural land) is required to deduct a specified percentage of the sale consideration as tax and remit it to the government. This ensures that the seller's income from the property sale is taxed at the source.

When is TDS applicable?

According to Section 194-I of the Income Tax Act, 1961, TDS is applicable when the sale consideration of the property exceeds ₹50 lakhs. The buyer must deduct 1% of the total sale amount as TDS. For properties sold by Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), the TDS rate varies and may be higher @30%.
