I am purchasing a property(under construction)  and have executed a sale agreement for the land (uds) for 28 lakhs and also registered the construction agreement for 80 lakhs. Will I need to deduct TDS in my payments as the total value exceeds 50 lakhs?  My builder claims TDS is not applicable as the land value is less than 50 lakhs. Please advise.
