I am buying a builder flat under construction in resale from the original allottee. Total cost of the flat is 85 lacs. However the original alloteee has paid only 25 lacs till date to the builder. Transaction consideration between me and the original allottee is 25 lacs only and the flat will be transferred by the builder in my name. Balance 60 lacs will be paid by me directly to the builder as and when demanded. Am I required to deduct tax at source u/s 194 IA on payment of 25 lacs being paid to the original allottee?

Thank you CA Sestharaman Sir. But if the consideration for the transaction between me and the original allotee is 25 lacs only and there is an agreement to sell to substantiate that why should 194IA be applicable as consideration between him and me is less than 50 lacs? I do understand that I will have to deduct TDS @ 1% on all subsequent payments that I will make to the builder.
