Tax deducted at source

Typically, Form 16B is a TDS certificate that is issued by a purchaser, i.e. a deductor to a seller. It helps taxpayers to verify the total amount of tax deducted at source while purchasing a property. The said tax amount is deposited with the Income Tax by the deductor. In simple words, Form 16B is a certificate that details the total TDS deducted in case of a property sale.

Form 16B is one of the TDS certificates to be issued by the deductor under Income-tax Act, 1961 to the deductee in respect of TDS deposited to Government.
