Quick Summary
This discussion explains how to calculate penalties and interest for failing to deduct TDS on a property purchase. If you purchase a property over 50 Lakhs and don't deduct the mandatory 1% TDS, you'll incur interest at 1% per month on the TDS amount. Additionally, a late filing fee of Rs. 200 per day applies under Section 234E for delayed submission of Form 26QB. The Assessing Officer may also impose a penalty under Section 271H, starting from a minimum of Rs. 10,000, for not submitting the required statement on time.

Fill form 26QB with all details, interest will be calculated by the utility itself over the tax payment of Rs. 60,000/-

Thank you Dhiraj sir. But in the income tax portal->  form 26qb option, does not automatically populate the penalty and interest charges. It is a manual entry

 Interest:: 1% per month from the date on which you were supposed to deduct TDS until the day on which you actually deduct TDS.

Late filing fee:  f you do not submit or delay in submitting Form 26QB, you may have to pay a fine under section 234E. The fine is Rs. 200 per day until you submit Form 26QB.

Penalty:: Assessing Officer may levy penalty under section 271H at his discretion. This section is applicable when a statement as required by the tax laws is not submitted timely. Minimum penalty under this section is Rs 10,000
