recently my father sold a house property and buyer deducted TDS u/s 194 IA but did not deposited with government. TDS is overdue by 15 days and buyer is adamant on not paying penalty of 1.5% on TDS amount. my query is whether our refund claim will be affected due to non payment of penalty as we have deposited capital gain account with national bank and there is no tax liability? also i want to know whether we can pay the penalty now as it is very nominal amount?

Your refund will not be affected by non payment of 1.5% interest. Only the buyer is liable for the amount. Dept. will issue notice and recover the amount from him.
