When purchasing a property together, Form 26QB filing depends on the total property value, not just individual buyer shares. If the total sale consideration exceeds Rs 50 Lakh, Form 26QB must be filed, regardless of how the payment is split between joint buyers. This applies even if each buyer's individual contribution is less than the Rs 50 Lakh threshold.
