    (Q1.)What type of demand may be generated after processing of 26QB challan cum statement?
  • Following type of defaults may be generated after processing of 26QB challan cum statement:
    1. Short Deduction: Short deduction is computed when the rate at which TDS Deducted is less than 1%.
    Scenario - 1: In Case of "Payment Type": Lumpsum TDS needs to be deducted on ‘Amount Paid/Credit’ or 'Total Stamp duty value of the Property' whichever is higher.
    For e.g:
    A. Total Value of Consideration (in Rs.) = 100,00,000
    B. Amount Paid/ Credit (in Rs.) = 100,00,000
    C. Total Stamp Duty Value of the Property (in Rs.) = 80,00,000
    D. Amount on which TDS to be deducted= 100,00,000

    Scenario - 2: In Case of "Payment Type": Installment, Last Instalment - No
    TDS needs to be deducted on 'Amount Paid/Credit currently'
    For e.g:.
    A. Payment in instalment or lump-sum = instalment
    B. Whether it is last instalment – No
    C. Amount paid/ credited currently = Rs. 30,00,000
    D. Amount on which TDS to be deducted= 30,00,000

    Scenario - 3: In case of 'Payment Type': Installment , Last Instalment - Yes
    TDS needs to be deducted on [(Amount Paid/ Credit currently + Total amount paid/ credited in previous instalments, if any (in Rs.) or Total Stamp Duty Value of the Property whichever is higher) less Total amount paid/ credited in previous instalments] for e.g.:
    A. Total Value of Consideration = Rs. 1,00,00,000
    B. Total Stamp Duty Value of the Property = Rs. 90,00,000
    C. Payment in instalment or lump-sum = instalment
    D. Whether it is last instalment - Yes
    E. Amount paid/ credited currently = Rs. 30,00,000
    F. Total amount paid/ credited in previous instalments = Rs. 70,00,000
    Here, Calculation will be on Higher Amount between [ (E + F) or B] = i.e., Rs. 1,00,00,000 or Rs. 90,00,000
    Amount Balance [Rs. 1,00,00,000 – Rs. 70,00,000 (already paid)] = Rs. 30,00,000 will become Amount on which TDS should be deducted.
