Hello All,

I am trying to purchase a property above 50 lakhs and the property was owned by Husband and Wife. The seller asked us to deposit money only to his Wife's account, and said to pay 1% TDS only on his Wife's PAN. When we asked him as there are two sellers we need to split the TDS and pay on both of their PAN's, he insisted that he can choose in whatever account he wants the TDS to be paid because he is not receiving any money into his account , so only his wife account is only applicable for TDS. Please Experts guide me what to do in this situation. Thank you.
