If the agreement value is of less than 75 lakhs and if the property is owned jointly by husband and wife, then is section 194ia applicable? and if so whether TDS needs to be deducted for both sellers or just single seller?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the applicability of Section 194IA (TDS on property) for jointly owned properties. If the total agreement value exceeds ₹50 lakh, TDS is generally applicable. However, if the property is jointly owned by spouses and the individual share of each seller is less than ₹50 lakh, TDS may not be required. Clarification is sought on whether to deduct TDS for one or both sellers in such scenarios, with differing opinions suggesting it depends on how the consideration is split.

Yes 194IA is applicable as consideration value is greater than 50 lakhs rupees, so TDS should be deducted @ 1%
(0.75%).

TDS should be deducted for those who received the full consideration value.
But what if they have 50% share, isn't the capital gain would be taxes at both hands? then accordingly both are different entities per income tax, so if we split consideration then value will be less than 50 lakhs per individual. just want proper clarification
There is no requirement to deduct tds as individual share is less than 50 lakh
If the income is split between husband and wife at the rate of 50% then TDS should not be deducted as consideration is less than 50 lakh rupees but otherwise if it is not allocated then TDS should be deducted as it is greater than 50 lakh rupees

No TDS u/s 194IA because individual share does not exceed the limit of Rs.50 lacs, in this case.

This case law might give more info: https://www.taxcorner.co.in/2019/06/no-tds-on-immovable-property-us-194ia-if-individual-share-is-below-rs-50-lakh.H T M L
