What is Form 16B? Form 16B for Income Tax Return Filing

Form 16 B is a TDC Certificate which shows the amount of tax deducted at source on the property deposited by the buyer to the income tax department. At the time of sale, he will have to deduct TDS of the immovable property. IT is usually 1% of the amount that buyer has paid to the seller. This amount is further deposited in the department.

After these deposits, the buyer issues Form 16B to the seller. This works as a shred of evidence that TDS has been deducted on the property filed with the government. Where form 16 shows the deduction of TDS from salary, 16A shows TDS inferred from all other type of payments and form 16B shows TDS deducted from the property sale.
