When purchasing immovable property for a total of Rs. 90 lakhs, but split into two sale deeds of Rs. 45 lakhs each, TDS under Section 194IA is not required to be deducted on each individual deed. This is because the value of each sale deed is below the Rs. 50 lakh threshold for mandatory TDS deduction.

I HAVE PURCHASED AN IMMOVABLE PROPERTY FOR RS.90 LACS FROM A SINGLE PERSON AND TWO SALE DEEDS FOR RS.45 LACS EACH ARE TO BE EXECUTED ON DIFFERENT DATES FOR THE SAME PROPERTY.
SHOULD I DEDUCT TDS U/S 194IA @ 0.75% ON THESE TWO SALE DEEDS OR NOT TO DEDUCT AS THE VALUE OF EACH SALE DEED IS LESS THAN RS.50 LACS.
