Notice u/s 200a

Recently I have purchased a property(apartment) worth Rs.6170000 and paid 1% TDS on behalf of the seller.Now I have received a notice telling me to pay 20% TDS. I checked with a tax consultant and came to know that seller's PAN is not linked with Aadhar and this is the reason may be he is being treated as NRI.As suggested by tax consultant, I informed seller to link PAN with Aadhar, but still he has not done it saying that Name in PAN and Aadhar is not matching and because of that they are unable to do that.Now seller is telling me to handle it as its showing to my PAN number.Can anyone advise me how I can proceed.20% of property value is coming around 12Lakhs which is a huge amount for me.

Quick Summary
A property buyer received a Section 200A notice demanding 20% TDS after initially paying 1% on behalf of the seller. This arose because the seller's PAN is not linked to their Aadhaar, potentially classifying them as an NRI. Despite attempts to resolve this, the seller's name mismatch prevents linking. The buyer is now seeking advice on how to proceed, as the 20% TDS amounts to a significant sum.

Better link pan with aadhar to avoid future trouble

200A intimation for 26QB:
• If you paid 1% TDS under 194-IA on a Rs 61.7 lakh property and received a 200A intimation with a demand, check the reason (TRACES → Defaults): late filing fee (234E, Rs 200 per day from the due date), interest for late payment (1.5% per month), or a mismatch (SDV higher than consideration, short deduction).
• Pay the demand via challan (26QB demand payment) and file a correction if the data was wrong.
