Dear Sir / Madam, During January 2018, I had filed TDS Return for Q3 of My Client for Purchase of Immovable Property. Seller was Non-resident, so I filed return u/s 195. While making payment of Rs.75 Lacs, I asked him to deduct TDS at 1% as per Certificate u/s 197 received by him from seller. I had no knowledge of Surcharge @ 10% to be deducted on payment made exceeding Rs.50 Lacs. TDS return processed with default due to Short deduction of Surcharge. Now, We paid the short deduction amount. But while filing Rectified return, how do i show this challan amount paid in return? because the entry in which Rs.75 Lacs mentioned cannot be altered with two challans. Please give your Expert Advise.

Respected Sir,
The Seller (NRI) got Certificate u/s 197 from his AO to deduct TDS at Lower Rate ie 1% and gave copy to Purchaser (Deducter) to deduct TDS as per Certificate. Hence, Purchaser deducted TDS at 1%. But due to no knowledge of Surcharge Limit, we didn't deducted surcharge.
