Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether TDS needs to be deducted on commission paid to property agents. Generally, TDS under Section 194H is mandatory if the commission exceeds a certain threshold and the payer is in the business of property sale. However, if you are an individual selling your property for the first time and not conducting a business covered by audit, you are typically not required to deduct TDS.
If you are in the business of sale and purchase of property and in the ordinary course of business you have paid the said commission to the agent,then you are mandatorily required to deduct tax on the commission amount u/s 194H @ 5%.
