Use the rules for the transaction date

Older records and office checklists may refer to section 194-IA and Form 26QB. Current Income Tax Department guidance describes the Income-tax Act, 2025 framework and Form 141. Schedule B covers applicable purchases of immovable property from resident sellers.

Keep legacy records intact and ask your tax adviser to confirm the applicable section, rate, form and certificate for each transaction. Do not relabel old filings or assume that a familiar form name applies indefinitely.

A deduction is not money in your bank

If a buyer withholds tax from an installment, the bank transfer and the tax-credit component need separate records. Treating both as bank cash overstates collections. Ignoring the credit can make the buyer appear short even when the payment and deduction together settle the amount.

Record the buyer, booking, deduction date and amount, together with the evidence needed to review the credit. Keep a follow-up state for missing documentation rather than assuming an expected credit has already been verified.

Use a monthly review queue

  • Match the demand, receipt and withheld component.
  • Identify deductions awaiting supporting evidence.
  • Check that cash reports include only the appropriate bank amounts.
  • Refer rate, applicability and filing questions to the tax adviser.
