The buyer should deduct TDS under section 194-IA and report it in Form 26QB. Ask for the Form 26QB acknowledgement and payment challan details; once processed, the TDS should appear in your Form 26AS/AIS and be available as credit in your income-tax return. A separate e-TDS return is generally not required for section 194-IA: Form 26QB is the buyer’s challan-cum-statement. Ensure the property and PAN details are correct.
You can claim the credit in your ITR for the year in which the sale took place, subject to the credit appearing in tax records and the return being filed for that assessment year. If the sale was in FY 2024–25, the return is for AY 2025–26; the earliest filing date depends on when the relevant ITR utility is released. The excess TDS is refundable after your tax liability on the capital gain and other income is computed—it is not necessarily refundable in full.
This sale-and-credit check fits naturally into the capital-gains and return-preparation workflow. Manual tracking across buyer filings, tax credits and return schedules is difficult; automation reduces repetitive work while professional judgment remains in control.
