Income Tax Department — Late tds intimation for filing 26qb statement for my for purchase of property during fy 2013-14

Address:411013
Website:www.tdscpc.gov.in

I have purchased a property in Pune on 22 Nov 2013 with the agreement cost of Rs.75, 00, 000. Nobody told me or I was not knowing to deduct 1% TDS from the seller from the payment I did it to the seller. After around 2.5 years of my purchase of the property, income tax department is sending me TDS intimation with subject of the email is "CPC (TDS) Follow up: 26QB Statement not yet filed for Purchase of Property during FY 2013-14". Also it has been informed me that a late fee of Rs.200 per day is liable to pay by me. TDS payment can be done by me but late fees would be very huge and around 1.5 lakhs. Being a regular tax payer, it is a big burden on me to pay the late fees. I really don't understand why Income Tax Department is so late to intimate me about filing form 26QB. Because of such a late intimation of Income Tax Department I have to suffer with a big financial loss. I would like to request to IT department to waive off my late fees.

Email received from IT Department, Gov. of India
Date of communication : 07/04/2016

Dear Buyer of Immovable Property, PAN(AAOPW5743L),

As per the information received in Annual Information return (AIR) through Registrar/Sub-registrar, you have executed transaction for Purchase of Immovable Property exceeding Rs. 50 Lakhs (Rupees Fifty Lakhs) during Financial Year 2013-14. However TDS Statement in Form 26QB has not yet been filed by you. In this regard, your urgent attention is invited to the following, with respect to filing of TDS Statement in Form 26QB and Issuance of TDS Certificates in Form 16B downloaded from TRACES.


Mandatory Filing of Form 26QB:
As per Finance Act of 2013, TDS is applicable on transfer of immovable property, wherein the consideration of the property exceeds or is equal to Rs 50 Lakhs. Sec 194 IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 read with Rule 30, 31 & 31A of Income Tax Rules states that:

For all such transactions with effect from June 1, 2013, Tax @ 1% should be deducted by the purchaser of the property at the time of making payment of sale consideration.

Tax so deducted should be deposited to the Government Account through e-tax Payment option (Netbanking) or any of the authorised bank branches. Any sum so deducted under section 194-IA shall be required to be paid to the credit of the Central Government within a period of seven days from the end of the month in which the deduction is made.

PAN of seller as well as Purchaser should be mandatorily furnished in an online Form (Form 26QB) for furnishing information regarding the property transaction. Facility for furnishing information regarding the transaction of sale of immoveable property and payment of TDS thereof is available on the website www.tin-nsdl.com.

TDS certificate in Form 16B is required to be issued by the Buyer of property to the Seller, in respect of the taxes deducted and deposited into the Government Account. Form 16B will be available for download by Registering on the website of Centralized Processing Cell (TDS) www.tdscpc.gov.in.

Issuance of TDS Certificates in Form 16B downloaded from TRACES:
It is mandatory for all buyers to issue TDS certificates after generating and downloading the same from TRACES, "TDS Reconciliation Analysis and Correction Enabling System"(www.tdscpc.gov.in). The TDS Certificates downloaded only from TRACES Portal will hold valid.

Implications of Non/Late filing of TDS Statements:
For Buyer of Property: In case of default on account of Non / late filing of Form 26QB, a fee shall be levied u/s 234E of the Act. He shall be liable to pay, by way of fee, a sum of Rs. 200 (two hundred) for every day during which such failure continues. The buyer would also be liable for defaults of Late Deduction, Late Payment and Interest thereon. Penalty under S. 271H may also be levied on him by the Assessing Officer.


For Seller of Property: Non/ Late filing of Form 26QB results into the TDS Credit not being available to the seller for claiming the amount of tax already deducted from the payments made.

Yes I have an exact situation, so what was the outcome on this complaint. Is there any way around this issue?? Can you email me at Chander.[protected]@bt.com
I had bought a property of value above Rs. 50 lacs in November, 2015 . I had instructed my Accountant to deduct the DTS from payment of Seller @ 1% of Property value . Later came to know that,
1. Sellers were a couple - Husband & wife, not single, where as the full amount was deducted of the Husband ( Not 50-50%)
2. The TDS was deducted in FY[protected] and not[protected] .

As amount was paid on line, against same 26 QS Challan, and seller was paid rest of the Money, we moved to our CA, who advised us to get the same corrected from Income tax Circle office, who did not bother to help us . Finally a written application, with set of 26 QS Challan, Copy of Registration / sell deed, along with PAN Card copies, along with a undertaking, that this mistake has happened, while deducting the tax online happened, was submitted at ITO's office, with a stamped receipt by the ITO office, that their office have been duly informed received .

Please let m know, if I am supposed to have a notice, with demand and penality on non filling of TDS return as well as non payment of TDS against the same transaction made ?

If yes, what further action I need to take on same .
My case is very similar to this, I have bought property in Thane.
I have no clue why should i pay the amount of 2 lacs for having no knowledge of any such laws. This should have been mandated by Registrar while registering the agreement, as it had all details. Can you please help me understand how this was settled finally? Did I-T department waived it considering my seller already paid all due taxes (excpet filing 26QB).

Request you to mail me the details on [protected]@gmail.com. appreciate your help

Thanks.
Hi

I am into a similar situation and the builder notified that TDS deduction was not required. This should not have been put at the headache of customers like us as this is not fair. There has to be a way at Registrar or other means to let know the customers on this.

Please let know if anyone is planning to take it at a higher level with the concerned authorities.
I deposited 1% TDS to sellers PAN account online after filing 26QB on 24th of July. I have got acknowledgement receipt online. The payment has been debited from my account. Till today 27th night, it is not reflecting in the 26AS of mine or seller. Also when I tried to generate 16B though traces, it shows error in challan number. I checked everything on challan is correct. The same time half of the payment was made from other PAN of my mother(as its a joint holder buying), its getting reflected in both buyer & seller account. My registry has got stuck, don't know what to do. Seller is adamant that unless its reflected in his 26AS, will not do registry. Kindly advice.
i have similar situation . Please can any one suggest suitable remedy for this. S
