TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) on building construction is a crucial aspect of tax compliance in India. It is primarily governed by Section 194-IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Under this section, if an individual or Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) purchases immovable property (such as a building or land), they are required to deduct TDS at the time of making the payment to the seller.
