Worked example

### Example 1

Example: Mr. A buys a flat for ₹70,00,000; SDV ₹75,00,000. TDS u/s 194IA @ 1% on higher = 1% of ₹75,00,000 = ₹75,000.

### Example 2

Example: Property sold for ₹45,00,000 (SDV ₹48,00,000) — no TDS (both below ₹50 lakh).

⚠️ Common exam mistakes

  • Deducting TDS on consideration only and ignoring SDV.
  • Applying 194IA to purchase of rural agricultural land (excluded).
