3) a)No. This provision will be applicable in respect of transactions effected on or after 01.06.2013
b)The threshold limit for application of tax deduction at source is Rs.50 lakhs. Where the transaction is less than Rs. 50 lakhs, the liability to deduct tax at source will not be applicable. It is not still clear whether provision applicable on transaction basis or on the number of seller basis. So we select which is beneficial to the Assessee i.e. on the basis of the number of seller and treat each seller as different transaction. but Registrar while filing AIR will report the same to the IT department.
4) tds will be on consideration for transfer of any immovable property i.e. not to consider legal charges and any other expenses in consideration.
6) Yes. 20% will be applicable.
7 & 8) It is still not clear whether the transferee shall be required to comply with all the other compliances of tax deduction at source, e.g., filing of TDS returns, issue of TDS certificates, etc. This could prove cumbersome as well as burdensome
