TDS deduction and capital gain on property sale

Hi,

Please refer to the replies inline below:

1. The TDS deducted by the buyer shall reflect in your form 26AS and that is sufficient proof to claim refund. The refund can be claimed after filing the tax return. Since the property was sold in this financial year, the tax return shall be filed next year.

2. You do not need his PAN and Adhaar card as such. But if you want to keep it for your records or future perusal, then you may take it.

3. Make the fixed deposit only if there are no capital gains.

4. Yes , selling inherited property shall also be taxable under the head capital gains. You need to invest in the bonds within 6 months period.

5. First of all, since it's an inherited property, you would need the valuation of the property as on 2001-02. Post that, indexation will be done and capital gains will be computed. After valuation, it tmay also be possible that there are capital losses. In such case you would not be required to invest it anywhere.

Thanks

1) TDS credit will be reflected in your Form 26AS and you can claim it on the basis of Form 26AS at the time of filing of ITR i.e. A.Y. 2019-20. Buyer will provide you Form 16B.

2) You can ask for PAN and Aadhaar copy of buyer for future reference if required.

3) To save capital gain tax, you need to either purchase or construct residential property within two or three years from the date of transfer. You can keep in FD for some time.

4) Yes it comes under capital gain. Calculate the capital gain amount first. You can invest in bonds up to 50 lacs. You need to invest only capital gain amount.

Thanks

Hi,

1. You will need TDS certificate also which your buyer will give you in sometime. For the time being, challan is enough. Refund will come approx. By September to December 2019, if eligible.

2. You can take it for security purposes. In case, your TDS does not show you can complain to his AO through his pan.

3. If you want to avail exemption from capital gain tax, you need to deposit the amount in special cgds account before return filing date I.e. July 2019. Till then, you can keep money wherever you want.

4. Yes, capital gain tax is liable. If you want exemption, you need to invest entire sale proceeds.

5. Yes, assuming the old property was not a flat/ home and it was merely a land.

Hi

1. Please obtain Form 16B from the buyer. Refund shall be claimed at the time of income tax return filing for FY 18-19 I.e. By 31st July 2019.

4. Yes, it is a capital gain. You can invest in bonds upto 5th Dec 2018/ buy a residential house property upto 5th June 2020/ construct a residential house property upto 5th June 2021.

If investment in property is not done by return filing i e. 31st July 2019, amount of capital gains have to be deposited in capital gain deposit account.

5. You need to invest only the capital gain amount and not the entire sale proceeds if the property was a house property. If it was only a residential land, entire sale proceeds shall have to be invested to claim capital gains exemption. Capital gain shall be calculated by deducting indexed value of stamp duty value of property as on 1.4.01 from the sale proceeds.
