TDS is to be deducted @ 10% on the compensation or enhanced compensation at the time of receipt of payment in any form i.e., cash, cheque or draft etc., which is not required if the amount received does not exceed Rs.2Lakhs. Hence, for compensation exceeding Rs.2Lakhs it is to be deducted at the time of receipt.

TDS will be deducted if the compensation amount exceeds Rs.1,00,000/- during that financial year (singly or aggregate of payments) at 10%. If the compensation lies in 2 financial years, say 50,000 in 2013-14 and 55,000 in 2014-15, the TDS provisions do not attract.

As the section do not contains/ specify the manner of deducting tax for multiple owners, the TDS should be dedcuted subjectively(depends on each case).

But as per Section 194LA of Finance Act,2013 no tax is to be deducted if the aggregate amount of such payment to the resident does not exceed Rs.2Lakhs.

thanx a lot for ur reply!!! But if there are more than one person holding the land will there be no exemption to each of them. lets say suppose there are 4 people holding a land and the amount be 7 lacs then if we see the whole amount then TDS should be deducted but if amount is given to the 4 people then each gets Rs. 1.75 lacs which means it is under the limit of Rs. 2lacs. then what is right????

The section says as follows:

No tax is required to be deducted where the amount of such payment or, as the case may be, the aggregate amount of such payment to a resident during the financial year does not exceed Rs.2Lakhs.

Hence, the aggregate amount to a resident should not exceed Rs.2Lakhs as per the agreement if any entered into.
