TDS for house purchase falling between two financial years

Dear Experts,

I have bought a resale house jointly with my spouse. We paid 25% of the amount from own account, rest of the amount was by bank loan. As the seller is NRI, he applied for a lower tax exemption and got the certificate too, which had validity till 31st March. We made the tax deductions as per the rate mentioned in the certificate (~7%) and deposited via challan. After that, we transferred the 25% to him before end of March, and the bank loan check was also generated in March. But the seller deposited the cheque in April, next financial year. We're planning to file the tds return now. Will there be any short defaults on us deductors due to the seller depositing the check in April?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common query regarding Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) for a house purchase from an NRI seller. The buyer deducted TDS based on a certificate valid until March 31st and made payments accordingly. However, the seller deposited the bank loan cheque in April, the following financial year. Experts clarify that the seller's cheque deposit date doesn't impact the buyer's TDS obligation, which is based on when the payment was *due* or *paid* by the buyer. The TDS return should be filed for the relevant quarter (Q4) of the financial year in which the deduction was made, even if the registry occurred in April.

The seller depositing cheque in April has nothing to do with tds

TDS payment due date in 30th April
TDS return due date for 27Q4 is 31st May

Fill all details in FY 23-24 date

Thank you for the response. We’re proceeding with tds return filing for Q4 as you mentioned. But I am still concerned because the house registry was done in april. Will that have any implication in future?
