The provision of Section 194IA is reporduced below:
Section 194IA of Income tax Act 1961
At the time of credit of such sum to the account of the transferor or at the time of payment in whatever manner, has to deduct tax at source at 1 percent.
The liability to deduct tax at source is at the time of actual payment or credit of such sum to the account of the transferor whichever is earlier.
With effect from June 1, 2013, any person who acquires an immovable property (other than agricultural land) from a resident transferor and where the value of consideration Exceeds Rs 50 Lakhs, shall be required to deduct tax at source at the rate of 1 percent.
