This is a classic Section 194-IA (TDS on purchase of immovable property) timing issue.
Let us analyse transaction-wise and correct the exposure properly.
1️⃣ Legal Position – Section 194-IA
Applicable when:
Sale consideration ≥ ₹50 lakh
Buyer is any person (individual also covered)
Seller is resident
TDS Rate: 1% of consideration
Time of deduction: At time of payment or credit, whichever earlier
Form: 26QB
Due date: Within 30 days from end of month of deduction
2️⃣ Your Facts Chronologically
First Agreement
Date: 05.06.2024
Total Value: ₹55 lakh
Instalments paid:
₹17 lakh (02–04 July 2024)
₹16.5 lakh (03–04 Aug 2024)
Since total consideration was ₹55 lakh (> ₹50 lakh),
TDS obligation arose from first instalment itself.
TDS should have been deducted on each payment.
Second Agreement (Upgraded Plot)
Date: 31.12.2024
Revised Value: ₹90 lakh
This becomes a fresh transaction.
So TDS must be recalculated on total ₹90 lakh (not only incremental difference).
3️⃣ Your Question 1
Can you club both instalments and pay ₹33,500 (1% of 33.5L)?
Technically:
❌ TDS should have been deducted at time of each instalment.
✔ However, practically you can now deduct total pending TDS and file delayed 26QB.
For first 2 instalments:
TDS required = 1% × 33.5L = ₹33,500
But interest will apply (explained below).
After revised agreement of ₹90 lakh:
Total TDS required = ₹90,000
You must ensure total TDS deposited = ₹90,000 (adjusting earlier 33,500).
4️⃣ Interest & Late Fee Exposure
A. Interest (Section 201(1A))
If TDS not deducted:
1% per month from date tax was deductible till date actually deducted
If deducted but not deposited:
1.5% per month from date deducted till date paid
Since you neither deducted nor deposited,
interest @1% per month applies from:
July 2024 (for ₹17L portion)
August 2024 (for ₹16.5L portion)
Till date of actual deduction/payment.
B. Late Fee u/s 234E
₹200 per day
From due date of 26QB till date of filing
(Maximum = TDS amount)
C. Penalty u/s 271H
May be levied (₹10,000 to ₹1,00,000), but generally not imposed if:
TDS + interest + late fee paid voluntarily before notice.
5️⃣ Aadhaar-PAN Linking – Is It Mandatory?
Yes.
If seller’s PAN is inoperative (Aadhaar not linked):
TDS rate becomes 20% under Section 206AA.
Even if seller is Government Authority (e.g., HMDA):
PAN must be quoted in 26QB.
Aadhaar not required if seller is Government / local authority.
Government bodies do not require Aadhaar linking like individuals.
If HMDA is statutory authority, 20% provision generally does not apply.
6️⃣ How To Regularise Now (Step-by-Step)
Step 1
Compute total TDS liability = ₹90,000
Step 2
Compute interest month-wise separately for:
July 2024 portion
August 2024 portion
Future instalments (if any)
Step 3
File separate 26QB for each payment date ideally
(Though practically some professionals consolidate by payment month)
Step 4
Pay:
TDS
Interest u/s 201(1A)
Late fee u/s 234E
Step 5
Generate Form 16B and issue to seller.
7️⃣ Important Clarification About Revised Agreement
If first agreement cancelled and new agreement executed for ₹90L:
TDS applies on entire ₹90L,
not just difference (₹35L extra).
Ensure total deposited equals 1% of ₹90L.
8️⃣ Professional Suggestion to Minimise Exposure
✔ Pay immediately (do not wait for registration)
✔ Pay interest correctly (department system calculates automatically when filing 26QB)
✔ File before notice to avoid penalty
✔ Keep documentation of revised agreement
📌 Final Answers
1️⃣ Yes, you can now deposit ₹33,500 for earlier instalments, but interest & late fee will apply.
Total TDS must ultimately be ₹90,000 (1% of ₹90L).
2️⃣ PAN is mandatory in 26QB. Aadhaar linking is relevant only if seller is individual. For government authority like HMDA, 20% provision generally not applicable.
3️⃣ To avoid penalty:
Pay TDS + interest + late fee immediately before any notice is issued.
