The Finance Bill 2013 has proposed that purchaser of an immovable property (other than rural agricultural land) worth ₹ 50 lakh or more is required to pay withholding tax at the rate of 1% from the consideration payable to a resident transferor.

Buyer or Purchaser of the property is not required to procure Tax Deduction Account Number (TAN). The Buyer is required to quote his or her PAN and sellers PAN.

According to rules in respect of tax deducted at source, buyer of the property would have to deduct the TDS and deposit the same in Government treasury.

As per the CBDT notification no. 30/2016 dated April 29, 2016, the due date of payment of TDS on transfer of immovable property has been extended to thirty days (from existing seven days) from the end of the month in which the deduction is made.

PAN of the seller is mandatory. The same may be acquired from the Seller before effecting the transaction.

The online form available on the TIN website for furnishing information regarding TDS on property is termed as Form 26QB

Form 16B is the TDS certificate to be issued by the deductor (Buyer of property) to the deductee (Seller of property) in respect of the taxes deducted and deposited into the Government Account.

Property is considered a capital asset and Capital Gains Tax is levied on the gains arising from the sale of property. Such gains are calculated after adjusting the inflation rate, transfer and renovation charges.

a) Acknowledgment number for the Form 26QB furnished is available in the Form 26AS (Annual Tax Statement) of the Deductor (i.e. Purchaser/Buyer of property). The same can be viewed from the TRACES website (www.tdscpc.gov.in) or b) Taxpayer can also click the option ‘View Acknowledgment’ hosted on the TIN website.

If the house is held for less than three years prior to its sale, it is termed as a short-term capital asset and any gain arising from the sale is treated as a short-term Capital Gain.

However, if the property is sold after holding it for more than three years, it is treated as a long-term capital asset and the gain arising from it is called the long-term Capital Gain. Such gains attract a flat exemption rate of 20%.

There are a few exemptions available for long term Capital Gains, if you: Buy or construct a new house: If you build a new house or buy one from the money you receive from selling a property, you are exempted from paying the tax on Capital Gains. However, the new purchase should be done either one year before or within two years of sale and the construction should be completed within three years from the date of transfer. The new property bought or constructed should not be sold within three years from the date of its purchase or date of completion of construction.

We would request you to kindly allow us to fix your appointment with one of our sales associates, who would give you an in-depth knowledge about the product and its pricing and how it is the best value for your money.

As a company policy, we do not speculate on future pricing. It is governed by market factors. However, our projects have in the past performed well even against market adversities and investors continue to invest with us.

Pricing is an integral part of this business model and is arrived at after due calibration and market studies. As a company policy we therefore do not offer any discounts.

Price is a market phenomenon and cannot be generally guaranteed however we strive to add value to your investment and historically have been instrumental in helping our investors grow their asset value with higher appreciation than the market trends.

This project has a lock-in period post signing of Agreement for Sale. There is a possibility that there may be sellers who are keen to trade-off their units however the availability of the unit that you intend to purchase is of the essence.

Individual sellers may keep a variable pricing to make their proposition appear lucrative.

Our pricing is uniform whether the application is done directly or via channel partners. Passing of any discounts is a practice which we neither promote nor endorse.
