Service overview

What this service is

This service files Form 26QB, the TDS return a buyer must file after deducting tax on the purchase of immovable property. It is for property buyers — including joint buyers, who each have separate filing obligations. Bluman checks the deduction rate and consideration value, prepares buyer-wise and seller-wise Form 26QB, guides the challan payment and downloads Form 16B with a compliance summary.

Who needs it

Buyers of immovable property (other than agricultural land) where the consideration or stamp duty value is ₹50 lakh or more. The obligation to deduct and deposit TDS under section 194-IA sits with the buyer, including where there are joint buyers or joint sellers.

What Bluman will do

  • Confirm whether section 194-IA applies to your transaction by reference to the consideration and the stamp duty value, and identify the correct deduction rate and date of deduction.
  • Work out the share-wise split where there is more than one buyer or seller, since a separate Form 26QB is required for each buyer-seller combination.
  • Verify PAN details of every buyer and seller — an incorrect PAN is the most common reason Form 16B cannot be issued later.
  • Prepare and file Form 26QB for each combination and guide you through the challan payment.
  • Download Form 16B from TRACES once processed and hand it over for issue to the seller.
  • Provide a short compliance summary covering due dates, late-fee exposure under section 234E and what to retain for your records.

Key deliverables

  • Buyer-wise, seller-wise TDS computation
  • Filed Form 26QB for each combination with acknowledgement
  • Form 16B for issue to the seller
  • Compliance summary covering deposit dates and any interest or late fee

Filing is completed within the stated turnaround once the deed and PAN details are available. Form 16B can be downloaded only after the challan is processed on TRACES, which typically takes a few days after payment.

  • · Government fees, portal charges and applicable taxes are billed at actuals.
  • · Timelines start once complete documents and information are received.
  • · Outcomes that depend on a government authority cannot be guaranteed, but every step is tracked and communicated.

Forms and filings involved

  • Form 26QB

    Challan-cum-statement for TDS deducted under section 194-IA on purchase of property.

  • Form 16B

    TDS certificate downloaded from TRACES and issued by the buyer to the seller.

Documents required

  • Sale deed or agreement to sell
  • PAN of every buyer and every seller
  • Address and contact details of all parties
  • Total consideration, stamp duty value and the payment schedule
  • Details of instalments already paid, with dates
  • Property address and, where available, the stamp duty valuation reference

What we need from you

  • Deposit the TDS amount yourself through the challan — Bluman does not handle client tax funds.
  • Provide correct PANs for all parties; corrections after filing require a separate rectification process.
  • Issue Form 16B to the seller once it is downloaded.

Important conditions

  • The TDS amount, interest and any late fee are payable by you at actuals.
  • Correction statements for earlier incorrectly filed 26QB forms are quoted separately.
  • Transactions involving a non-resident seller fall under section 195, not 194-IA, and are handled under a different service.
