Explanation
Old Section 194IA (buyer deducts 1% TDS on property purchase from resident, consideration > ₹50 lakh) is carried into IT Act 2025 §393. The buyer (even an individual) is the deductor. TDS is deposited using the buyer's PAN (from 1 October 2026 as an alternative to TAN). For NRI sellers, Section 195 / §395 applies at capital-gains rates with no ₹50 lakh threshold. Use Form 26QB for filing and download Form 16B for the seller. Verify on the income-tax portal before filing.
