assessee has purchased a property from NRI of 6 cr & deducts a tds @ 23.92% I. e. Rs. 14352000. however Cpc calculates a tds of Rs. 15600000 & sends the assessee a short deduction notice of Rs. 12.48 lacs. Assessee write a mail to tds cpc. where they replied that nature of remittance mentioned in statement is not covered under DTAA hence short deduction default has been raised. you are requested to pay the demand. Is this reply correct? we have deducted a tds as per income tax Act & not as per DTAA. please reply

Yes sir. We have also deducted on total sales 20% tax surcharge 15% & cess 4%. Dept calculated it's short deduction. Dept. calculated at 26%. This may be as 20% tax 25% surcharge & 4% cess effective rate is 26%. But in case capital gain maximum surcharge is capped at 15% only. 25% surcharge is for other than capital gain income.

TDS is very much charged on the sales consideration not on capital gains but surcharge is based on total income which you can reply for the notice purpose. that is why asked for capital gains. Kindly respond to the notice quoting the actual facts.
