Immovable property (any land or apartment or flat or building other than agricultural land) costing Rs. 50 lakhs or more is required to pay a withholding tax. The rate at which the tax is to be deducted is 1% of the amount paid. The new provision has been introduced by adding Section 194IA Income Tax.
This is applicable w.e.f. 01.06.2013.
