09 April 2025 Hi All,

I am buying a property for 80 lacs. I have paid a token amount of Rs. 1,00,000/- to the seller on 2nd April 2025. Housing loan will be of Rs. 50 lacs.
The balance sale consideration will paid in 3 installments i.e. Rs. 9 lacs on 10th April 2025 and Rs. 20 lacs 15th April 2025 and the Sale Agreement will also be signed on the same day - 15/04/2025. Finally the balance amount will be paid by housing loan directly by bank.

My query is what date should be mentioned against "Date of Agreement / Booking" in Form 26QB for tds on token amount?
Whether it will be 2nd April 2025 or 15th April 2025 or any some other date ?

Will the "Date of Agreement / Booking" have to remain same for all future 26QB forms i..e subsequent payments or it will change after signing the agreement?

Thanks
Niki
