ITAT Provides Clarifications on TDS and Capital Gains Exemptions in Property Transactions

The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) has recently issued rulings providing relief to taxpayers on property-related tax matters. In one case, ITAT Ahmedabad ruled that no TDS deduction is required if payments to individual sellers are below Rs 50 lakh, even if the total property value exceeds this threshold. In another ruling, ITAT allowed taxpayers to claim capital gains exemption under Section 54 during reassessment, provided the claim relates directly to the escaped income and is properly documented. Both decisions clarify tax compliance nuances for property transactions.
