Quick Summary
A user's father, acting under a Power of Attorney for a land development, found a large sum (51 lakh) associated with his PAN in the Annual Information Statement (AIS) following the builder's sale of a flat. The father was merely the signing authority and did not earn any income from the sale. The user is seeking guidance on how to respond to an IT department query regarding this transaction, particularly explaining that his father acted solely as an attorney and not as the seller.

1. Since your father is a signing authority,hence the same is reported. However from tax perspective, it is the builder whose flat is sold so the capital gains would arise to the builder. Check The seller entity PAN number in Index 2 - it would be of the seller

2. No question of capital gains to owner. No question of claiming TDS either. You should keep a copy of that sale agreement with you to tackle Departmental notice.

Oh Sorry..that entry was not in 26AS but Annual Information statement (AIS) So there is no Index 2 also TDS section is blank ..

Oh great then. Query solved.

Not good .. my father's PAN was clean till now but now IT department will have close look since huge transaction amount is attached with PAN
