you ask the contractor for bill for your renovation of your house then you claim the cost of improvement against the invoices
Thank you for your reply Gagan. What if the contractor is individual and do not have the GST bill to provide. Else we should find a registered contract?

If the total payment is above 50 lac, then 5% tax is deducted. This was introduced in the latest budget.
Treatment of cost of acquisition or improvement remains same whether tax is deducted or not.
Under 194M w.e.f. 1-9-2019
If the total of payments to any single contractor for wedding functions, house renovation or to a single professional during a financial year exceeds Rs 50 lakh then TDS @ 5% would be deductible by the payer.

The provisions of Section 194C(4) mentions that no TDS is required to made if the amount is paid exclusively for personal purposes of the individual. Assuming that your house is used for personal perposes, TDS would not apply. However, the FA, 2019 has brought in Section 194M where if the payments exceeds Rs. 50 Lakhs, TDS is required to be made at the rate of 5%.
However in any case your deduction for cost of improvement for the purposes of calculation of LTCG is not affected for non-deduction of Tax. Of course if your payment exceeds 50 Lakhs do deduct tax and pay tax u/s. 194M.

So long as it is within the provisions of the Act , it's okay. By tax planning you can avoid /reduce taxes.
There is nothing like simply avoid or easily avoid. The proper is Action has to be on BASIS

Hi,
You should deduct tds @ 1or 2percent on basic amount(excluding GST) depends upon whether he is ind/ HUF or any other else as the case may be.
You can show and avail deduction for this amount as cost of improvement irrespective of this tds 1or 2 percent.
