My client has received notice on 11/04/2016 for non filing of 26QB from traces for the property purchase in FY 2013-14.
Facts : 26QB has already been filed by first holder of property and TDS is duly deducted and paid. But Notice of non filing of 26QB is received in the name of second joint holder.
For eg. Property is purchased in the name of Father and Son, Father has filed 26QB, but notice has been sent to Son for non filing of Return.
Question : Whole 1 % TDS is deposited to the government, Is second holder is required to file 26QB Seperately.

you can check in amount paid by the father, then son can give reply that his father buy the property and make all payment for property and he give nothing for that property. then the notice can waive off.

If the deductee has made sufficient arrangement of the payment of the taxes, the deductor need not worry about its TDS responsibility. At the most, IT people may demand the INTEREST on the same.

It takes some time to realise the crux. Anyway, let me try to explain step by step. 26 qb is for non filing of return of tds TDS is for : Purchaser to deduct TDS at the time of payment to builder In case of joint names : where TDS is done by first named person, in toto (meaning in full) The second named person can always take the shelter of the fact that the TAX has been paid by deductor no1 OR deductee. And hence deductee no2 can be absolved of his responsibility towards 26qb. (This is also known as SUBSTANCE driven answer rather than FORM driven answer) Your views please

As per rule Both should deduct and pay the TDS and file 26QB. As per my understanding every individual (Individual PAN holder) have own individual responsibility there is no provision for "SHELTER" in Income Tax.

ok. FORM driven view is always welcome. (Both should deduct) SUBSTANCE driven view may differ. (First named may deduct or both may deduct or ....) Thank you for sharing your view.
