How to file Form 26QB on sale of property?

Hey @raghav_munna,

As of now, you are not required to visit the office.

Thank you for your assistance so far!
I was able to submit the 26QB correction on 12th Oct, however, it is still at “Pending for PAN Approval” status.
Our seller has informed us that they did not receive any intimation from TDS and they cannot approve unless they receive an update. Is there any way to find what is causing the delay?

I’m a buyer and I have to cancel the property purchase at the last minute. I already paid the TDS a day before the deal was cancelled. Now when I tried to apply for refund because property deal was cancelled. But when we entered all challan details, refund amount allowed shows Rs.0. Consumed amount shows the full amount we paid. how to proceed with refund in such cases? I know the amount or probably credited to seller pan. How to revert back and get the right amount to show up in refund request?

Hello @mwatch25,

It seems like the challan you paid is already utilized against the payment made to seller. You can file correction for the 26QB filed on the TRACES portal.

Hello @Sangeeta,

Apologies for delay in reply.

The request for PAN approval will go to the previous seller. Kindly connect with the previous seller whose PAN you had entered earlier for approval.

Thank you for your help so far! Looks like I have yet another problem, AO has rejected the correction request :frowning_face:
Reason: No relevant documents attached. Have been asked to submit the correction request again.

There was no option to attach any documents and AO is from my hometown ( different state ) so its not possible for me to physically submit any document. What options do I have now?

Hello @Sangeeta,

Looks like you will have to physically submit the correction request to the AO. If it is not possible to physically visit you can email them at contactus@tdscpc.gov.in or call on their helpline number at 01204814600 for an alternate solution.

Hope this helps!

Hey @raghav_munna,

After sending the e-mail, nothing much is required to be done. The Officer will consider the documents and issue appropriate intimation.

Thank you for the update

Hey,

There is no Inbox in newer version of TRACES, how do I see the intimations ?

Hey @VIKASG,

After logging into the TRACES portal, the fourth tab is “Communications” under which the “Inbox” tab shows all the intimations.

Hope this helps!

Received a reply from them and now they say they cannot consider the change

With reference to your request for change of date of payment of tax at source and total consideration of the property you are requested to substantiate your request by furnishing documentary proof. In this connection, it is also noticed that the date of deduction was 18.06.2023 and as per the receipt of challan, the date of deposit was 07.10.2023, however the date of payment was sought to be corrected as 24.10.2023. In view of the same, your request for change of date of payment of taxes cannot be considered.

Yours faithfully,

Hello @raghav_munna

As per TDS laws, TDS has to be deducted when you make the payment.

In your case, the date of payment i.e. 24.10.2023 can not be after the date of deduction i.e. 18.06.2023. Hence, they cannot make this change.

For further queries you can Book a Meet, where a tax expert can understand your situation in detail and help you accordingly.

Am also facing the same from last 2weeks. Can anyone help regarding this ?

Hello @Amit_Dash,

You can try connecting with the TRACES helpline number to check why you cannot download the justification report. Without going through the details I cannot help you with why you cannot download the justification report.

If you need further help, you can book a Meet using the link below where a tax expert will understand your situation in detail and guide you further.

Hi… I have submitted a fresh correction for 26QB and it is Pending AO Approval, however the Assessing officer details field is blank.

How do I know whom to submit the documents for approval? The request was rejected last time because the docs were not physically submitted to the AO.

Thanks,
Sangeeta

@CA_Niyati_Mistry @Surbhi_Pal Can I submit the correction request as I paid the TDS on 7 oct and make date of payment as 24/10/2023 and date of deduction as 07/10/2023.

I tired to do the same but traces portal did not accept this and throws error as “Date of tax deduction should be greater or equal to Date of payment/credited”.

Is there any way to avoid this fine or should I pay the fine for sure, it was only the dates and I paid the TDS on right time ( earlier to the disbursement , which was delayed due to 10% will be held by banks for last amount sanctioned for the loan)

Hello @raghav_munna,

The date of payment cannot be later than the date of deduction. TDS deduction happens at the time of making the payment. Hence, the correction request you are trying to submit will not go through.
