Total sale Consideration in respect of the property-Will it be Rs. 2 crore here or Rs. 4 crore?

Amount paid/credited in present transaction-Here, it will be Rs. 2 crore because the payment being made by A to C. is Rs. 2 crore.'

[Sanjeev Agarwal]

Assuming Rs. 4 crore is both the total sale consideration and total stamp-duty value, and A/B and C/D each have 50:50 shares:

Form 141 Field - A C	Amount
Total Stamp Duty Value of Property	Rs. 4 crore
Total Sale Consideration / Property Value	Rs. 4 crore
Buyer A's share	50%
Seller C's share	50%
Proportionate Stamp Duty Value	Rs. 1 crore
Amount paid/credited in present transaction	Rs. 2 crore

Why?

1. Total Stamp Duty Value - Rs. 4 crore

This field requires the stamp-duty value of the entire property. It is not proportionated merely because there are multiple buyers/sellers.

2. Total Sale Consideration - Rs. 4 crore

Similarly, the total consideration for the entire property should be entered, i.e. Rs. 4 crore, rather than A's or C's Rs. 2 crore share.

3. Proportionate Stamp Duty Value - Rs. 1 crore

Form 141 calculates this based on buyer's and seller's respective shares:

Rs. 4 crore x 50% (A) x 50% (C) = Rs. 1 crore

Therefore, it is neither Rs. 2 crore nor Rs. 4 crore.

4. Amount paid/credited - Rs. 2 crore

Since A has actually paid/credited Rs. 2 crore to C, this field should be Rs. 2 crore.

Important point

There is a mismatch between the ownership ratio and payment flow:

• A's share in property = Rs. 2 crore

• C's share in sale consideration = Rs. 2 crore

• But A has paid C the entire Rs. 2 crore

• Whereas the mathematical A-C proportion based on 50% x 50% is only Rs. 1 crore.

Therefore, the four buyer-seller combinations should not automatically be treated as Rs. 1 crore each. The actual payment/credit arrangement in the sale deed must be considered while filing Form 141.

For payments/credits from 1 April 2026, Form 141 applies under the Income-tax Act, 2025. The uploaded Income-tax material also confirms the transition from the Income-tax Act, 1961 as amended through Finance Act, 2026.

If the remaining Rs. 2 crore is B D, then the complete filing can be mapped separately for A C and B D.

AI Summary

Joint property purchase TDS reporting requires clarity on total property values, proportionate stamp duty value, and buyer-seller payment details. TDS compliance on purchase of jointly owned land is considered where two buyers and two sellers hold equal shares. Four property-TDS forms are stated to be required, with each buyer filing forms for both sellers. For Buyer A's payment to Seller C, the query concerns reporting total stamp duty value, total sale consideration, proportionate stamp duty value, and the amount paid or credited in the current transaction. The payment made by Buyer A to Seller C is identified as the amount paid or credited.
