26 August 2026 Hi,

I need clarification regarding the filing of Form 141 for a jointly purchased property.

Example:
Property Buyers: Myself and my wife (joint buyers)
Current instalment amount: ₹10,00,000 (dummy amount for illustration)
Payment: I alone have paid the entire ₹10,00,000 instalment.
My wife's contribution: ₹0
Agreement: Both of us are mentioned as buyers, but the Agreement for Sale does not specify any buyer-wise percentage or proportion of consideration.

While filling Form 141, the portal asks for the “Proportion of total sale consideration to be paid/credited by the buyer (%)”, and the proportions of all buyers must total 100%.

Could you please clarify:

What percentage should be entered for me and my wife?
Should I enter 100% for myself, since I paid the entire instalment?
If my wife paid ₹0, how should her share be entered, especially if the portal does not allow adding a buyer with 0%?
Does my wife need to file a separate Form 141 using her own PAN, even though she did not make any payment towards this instalment?
How should the ₹10,00,000 instalment and corresponding TDS be allocated between us?

Please advise on the correct procedure.
