Rectification of TDS return - Sale of property
This query is : Resolved
12 April 2026
Dear Sir,
I seek your guidance regarding the following matter:
Mr. X, the buyer, purchased a residential unit along with land from four sellers — A, B, C, and D — for ₹1.80 crores on 23/09/2025. However, Mr. X did not deduct and deposit TDS at the time of the agreement.
He was required to deduct equal TDS in the names of all four sellers. Instead, in February 2026, he reported and deducted the entire sale proceeds and corresponding TDS in the name of Seller A only, which is incorrect. At the registrar's office, the property appears in the names of all the sellers. This will create a mismatch if the return is filed in Mr. A's name only.
Despite repeated follow-ups requesting Mr. X to rectify the TDS return and deposit the TDS proportionately in the names of all sellers, he has shown no interest in doing so.
Kindly advise:
What remedies are available to all sellers in this regard?
What steps should be taken if the buyer remains reluctant to rectify the TDS return?
Your guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Suraj

In a transaction involving one buyer and four sellers, separate Form 26QB compliances were required for each buyer-seller combination as per respective share. Deducting and reporting the entire TDS in the name of only one seller is incorrect and liable to be corrected by the buyer through TRACES. If the buyer refuses, the sellers should issue a written legal notice and approach the jurisdictional TDS/AO with the sale deed and ownership breakup. The default, interest and correction burden remain on the buyer.
