Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) applies when land is acquired by the government for public projects like a water tank, with an estimated value of £15 lakh. It clarifies that under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, compensation for compulsory land acquisition is generally exempt from income tax, meaning no TDS should be deducted.

The Central Government has enacted a new law namely Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, (‘RFCTLARR Act’) on 26th September, 2013 which came into force on 1st January, 2014.

Section 96 of the RFCTLARR Act inter-alia, provides that income-tax shall not be levied on award or agreement made subject to limitations mentioned in section 46 of the said Act. Therefore, compensation received for compulsory acquisition of land under the RFCTLARR Act (except those made under section 46 of RFTCLARR Act), is exempted from the levy of income-tax.

No TDS deduction applicable.

Ok sir I will study and update you later.....

Good Luck...
