20 May 2026 Given the complexity of corporate land ownership and personal tax exemptions, this is a specialized matter. You should consult with a Chartered Accountant to evaluate your specific documentation. They can determine if there is any viable, legally compliant restructuring (such as a conveyance of land or specific development agreements recognized under tax law) that could potentially allow for a tax-efficient outcome, though, under standard conditions, this arrangement would not qualify for Section 54 benefits.

The TDS rate under Section 194M is currently 2% (reduced from 5% in October 2024). Regarding the Section 54 exemption, you likely cannot claim it for a house built on company-owned land, as the law requires the residential property to be in your name. Please consult a professional to review your specific case.
