TDS for Advance Maintenance

1058 views 4 replies

I have paid the builder fully (including TDS) for all construction linked milestones and the builder has offered the flat for possession. So all items paid linked with Flat cost.

Alongside builder has also sent an invoice for additional charges including society formation, advance for maintenance, electricity meter & piped gas connection charges etc which includes a 1% TDS component that I need to pay. Should this TDS be filed as per for 26 QB?

If this needs to be paid as per for 26 QB - what should be included in the following fields:

  • Date of Agreement/Booking
  • Total Value of Consideration (Property Value)
  • Date of Payment/ Credit made to Seller
  • Pament type - Installment or Lumpsum
  •  
    Date of Deduction
     
    Please note that I have made the payment for above stated additional items to builder on 26 July 2025 and the only amount outstanding is for its TDS. Please advise.
     
    The property was purchased at 1 Cr (including 1 lakh TDS), now the demand from builder is for 3 lakhs and this has a 3 thousand demand for TDS.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the process of deducting and depositing Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on advance maintenance and other additional charges when purchasing a property. The user has paid the builder in full for the flat but received an invoice for extra charges, including a 1% TDS component. The advice confirms that TDS needs to be filed via Form 26QB for these additional charges, detailing the required information such as agreement date, total consideration for additional items, payment date (26 July 2025), and payment type (lumpsum). It's recommended to verify the legitimacy of the additional charges with the builder and consult a CA for precise guidance on Section 194 IA of the Income Tax Act.

You need to pay a 1% TDS component on additional charges like society formation, maintenance, electricity meter, and piped gas connection charges.

Filing as per Section 26Q8:-Yes, if the payment is made to a builder for these additional charges. 

Fields to include in Form 26Q:- Date of agreement booking with builder, Total value of consideration (property value): Total amount paid for additional charges., Date of payment/credit made to seller: 26 July 2025., Payment type: Lumpsum.

Verify with the builder if the 3 lakhs demand is legitimate and part of the agreed-upon costs. Check if you have correctly accounted for TDS on this 3 lakhs demand as per Indian tax laws.
