- Log in to the income tax e-filing portal and choose e-Pay Tax → Form 26QB (TDS on sale of property).
- Enter buyer, seller and property details, the total value, and the amount paid.
- Pay the TDS online; the challan and statement are filed together.
- After processing, download Form 16B from TRACES and give it to the seller.
What counts as the sale consideration
The full amount paid for the property, including charges incidental to the transfer such as car parking, club membership, and electricity or water connection fees. If the stamp duty (circle rate) value is higher than the agreed price, TDS is calculated on the stamp duty value.
TDS is not an extra cost
TDS is part of the price, not on top of it: you pay 99% to the seller and 1% to the government on the seller's behalf. The seller claims it as a credit against their income tax. Your extra costs as a buyer are stamp duty, registration and, for under-construction homes, GST.
