U/s 194IA, if the value of a immovable proertyother than agricultural land exceeds Rs. 50 lakhs, TDS @ 1% has to be deposited by the buyer of the property on behalf of the seller. If there is a default by the buyer in not depositing the TDS, what would be the penal consequences? Also can this be added to cost of acquisition as and when the asset is intended to be sold/ discarded and indexed accordingly.
