While purchasing a property more than 50 lakhs, I by mistake made the full payment to the seller. I deposited the TDS amount on my own after few months as the seller is not ready to refund the tax portion and he is not ready for any deduction.
After making the payment on my own, i filed Form 26QB. However i have receieved a demand notice for Rs 1 lakh for delay in filing form 26QB. TDS was borne by me which was already a burden, should i pay the penalty also.

You will have to file a reply to the demand notice and comply with it. Narrate all the facts to the Assessing Officer and take the plea of bonafide belief. The tax officer may waive the penalty.
