01 October 2021 Dear Sir,

A person has sold his old property which was in his name and against that he has purchased a new property where his wife is the first owner and he is the second owner of the new property.

In the old property which was sold his wife's name is not there as the owner and the entire tds was paid in his wife's PAN while purchasing the new property.

01 October 2021 The TDS should have been deducted/paid by both equally.
Take care about the payment, husband pays at least the amount equal to or more than the CG arrived from old property sell.

01 October 2021 The TDS was booked in wife's account and its reflecting in her 26AS. Payment to builder has been done equally both by husband and wife. Can the husband take the benefit of amount he has paid.
