As the buyer of the land, you'll deduct TDS on the land purchase. For the construction contract with the builder, you'll need to consider TDS deduction under a different section. TDS on Construction Contract: You'll need to deduct TDS under Section 194C of the Income Tax Act, 1961, which deals with "Payments to contractors" [1]. This section requires TDS deduction on payments made to contractors or subcontractors for carrying out any work, including construction. TDS Rate: The TDS rate under Section 194C is: - 1% for payments made to resident contractors - 2% for payments made to non-resident contractors However, since the construction contract includes GST, you'll need to deduct TDS only on the amount excluding GST. Calculation: Construction contract amount: ₹70 lakhs GST (5%): ₹3.5 lakhs Amount excluding GST: ₹66.5 lakhs You'll deduct TDS on ₹66.5 lakhs. Statutory Compliance: 1. *Obtain PAN*: Ensure the builder provides their PAN, as it's mandatory for TDS deduction. 2. *Issue TDS Certificate*: Provide the builder with a TDS certificate (Form 16A) for the TDS deducted. 3. *File TDS Return*: File the TDS return (Form 26Q) quarterly, providing details of the TDS deducted. 4. *Deposit TDS*: Deposit the TDS amount with the government within the prescribed time limit. Consult a tax professional or chartered accountant to ensure you comply with all the requirements and regulations.
