Since June 2013, it has been mandatory for buyers of immovable property to deduct TDS from the amount to be paid to the seller. It is the responsibility of the buyer to deduct TDS if the transaction value exceeds `50 lakh. The buyer is required to deduct TDS @ 1% on the total consideration and deposit the same in the account of the income tax authorities in the prescribed format.
Form
Form 26QB must be filled by the buyer either online or offline to deposit the TDS. One can click the following link to access the form online.https:onlineservices.
Due date for filing
The challan (Form 26QB) must be filed within 7 days from the month in which the TDS was deducted by the buyer.

Payment
One can choose to pay either through Netbanking or at the branch of the bank. If the taxpayer chooses e-tax payment on subsequent date at the bank branch, an acknowledgement number is generated. This number must be retained by the taxpayer to be presented to the bank while making the payment.
