TDS on Properties Above INR 50 Lakh: What You Need to Know

The Finance Ministry of India has announced crucial changes to the Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) regulations that will take effect from October 1, 2024. This significant update, revealed during the 2024-25 Budget by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, aims to clarify and standardise TDS application in property transactions, addressing inconsistencies that have previously plagued the system.

Under the revised Section 194-IA of the Income Tax Act, a uniform TDS rate of 1% will be imposed on the transfer of immovable properties valued at INR 50 lakh or more. Importantly, this rule applies regardless of the number of buyers or sellers in the transaction. The clarification aims to ensure that all payments made by transferees to transferors contribute towards the TDS threshold. This is a vital change, as previous ambiguities regarding what constituted “consideration for transfer” allowed certain transactions to bypass TDS deduction, even when their cumulative value surpassed the INR 50 lakh mark. The intention behind this amendment is to provide a clear framework that ensures all relevant parties are accountable for TDS deductions. By explicitly stating that the total consideration from all parties determines TDS applicability, the Finance Ministry reinforces its commitment to a robust and equitable tax regime. This initiative addresses concerns over tax compliance, enhancing transparency and regulatory oversight within the real estate sector.

Real estate stakeholders must brace for these upcoming changes, as they are likely to have significant implications for financial planning and transactional strategies. The amendments underscore the government’s dedication to fiscal discipline, aiming to create a fair and compliant environment for property transactions in India. As these revisions approach, all parties involved in high-value property deals are strongly encouraged to familiarise themselves with the new guidelines. Understanding the amended rules will be crucial in avoiding any inadvertent non-compliance, thus ensuring smooth transactions and adherence to the regulatory framework.
