Buying a Pune flat for ₹50 lakh or more triggers the buyer's TDS obligation under Section 194-IA — deduct 1% of consideration or stamp duty value (whichever is higher), pay through Form 26QB (or Form 141 for tax deducted from 1 April 2026) and issue Form 16B (or Form 132) to the seller. Get it wrong and the interest and penalty are on you, not the builder.
