+# Central Board of Direct Taxes: Notification No. 67/2022 (Fourth Amendment Rules, 2022)
+
+**Notification Reference**: Notification No. 67/2022 / F.No. 370142/19/2022-TPL  
+**Issuing Authority**: Central Board of Direct Taxes, Ministry of Finance, Government of India  
+**Date of Gazette Notification**: 21 June 2022 (effective 1 April 2022)  
+**Governing Provisions**: Section 194-IA read with Section 295 of the Income-tax Act, 1961; Rules 30 and 31A; Form 26QB  
+
+---
+
+## 1. Statutory Amendment Context (Finance Act, 2022)
+
+Prior to the Finance Act, 2022, tax deduction at source under Section 194-IA was computed strictly on the contractual consideration agreed between the transferee and transferor. Sub-section (1) and sub-section (2) of Section 194-IA were amended by the Finance Act, 2022 w.e.f. 1 April 2022 to align the tax withholding base with the anti-abuse provisions of Section 43CA and Section 50C.
+
+Under the amended law:
+1. **Taxable Withholding Base**:
+   - The transferee is obligated to deduct 1.0% tax at source on the **sum of consideration or the Stamp Duty Value (SDV) of such property, whichever is higher**.
+2. **De Minimis Threshold (Section 194-IA(2))**:
+   - No deduction is made where **both** the consideration for the transfer of an immovable property **and** the stamp duty value of such property are less than INR 50,00,000.
+   - If either the contractual consideration or the stamp duty value reaches or exceeds INR 50,00,000, Section 194-IA is triggered on the greater of the two figures.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Amendments to Income-tax Rules & Form 26QB
+
+Notification No. 67/2022 amended Appendix II to the Income-tax Rules, 1962, substituting a comprehensive electronic Form 26QB (Challan-cum-statement of deduction of tax under Section 194-IA):
+
+- **Separate Reporting of Consideration and Stamp Duty Value**: Form 26QB mandates separate line-item disclosure of the contractual sales consideration and the stamp duty valuation determined by the state stamp valuation authority (Sub-Registrar).
+- **Incidental Transfer Charges Breakdown**: By virtue of the Explanation to Section 194-IA inserted by Finance Act, 2019, the contractual consideration must explicitly incorporate:
+  - Club membership fees
+  - Car parking allotment charges
+  - Electricity, water, and power back-up facility charges
+  - Advance maintenance charges
+  - Sinking fund / corpus fund contributions
+  - Any other charges incidental to the transfer of the immovable property.
+- **Installment-Based Withholding**: Where payment is made in installments across construction milestones, TDS must be deducted on each installment. Where the total property SDV exceeds the total contractual consideration, the incremental tax is apportioned across remaining installments.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Compliance Timelines & Failure Consequences
+
+| Requirement | Statutory Rule | Statutory Deadline | Penalty for Non-Compliance |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Form 26QB Electronic Filing** | Rule 30(2C) & Rule 31A(4C) | Within 30 days from the end of the month in which deduction is made | Fee of INR 200/day under Section 234E; Penalty up to tax amount under Section 271H |
+| **Form 16B Certificate Issuance** | Rule 31(1)(b) | Within 15 days from the due date for furnishing Form 26QB | Penalty of INR 500/day under Section 272A(2)(g) |
+| **Missing / Inoperative PAN** | Section 206AA | At time of credit or payment | Mandatory higher rate of 20.0% TDS |

Under the Finance Act, 2022 amendment w.e.f. 1 April 2022, tax is deductible on the gross consideration or the Stamp Duty Value (SDV) adopted by the stamp valuation authority, whichever is higher. No deduction is required where both the consideration and the stamp duty value are less than INR 50,00,000. If either the consideration or the stamp duty value reaches or exceeds INR 50,00,000, TDS is applicable on the higher amount. By virtue of the Explanation to Section 194-IA inserted by Finance Act, 2019, 'consideration for transfer of any immovable property' includes all charges of the nature of club membership fee, car parking fee, electricity or water facility fee, maintenance fee, advance fee, or any other charges of similar nature, which are incidental to the transfer of the immovable property. Unlike standard corporate TDS which requires a Tax Deduction Account Number (TAN), deduction under Section 194-IA is PAN-based: the transferee is not required to obtain a TAN and furnishes the challan-cum-statement in Form 26QB online using the buyer's and seller's PANs within 30 days from the end of the month in which deduction was made. The buyer must subsequently issue TDS certificate Form 16B to the seller within 15 days of Form 26QB filing. Where the seller fails to furnish a valid PAN or has an inoperative PAN, the mandatory penalty withholding floor is 20% under Section 206AA.

+# Finance (No. 2) Act, 2024 — Section 194-IB Rate Rationalization
+
+## 1. Statutory Background
+Section 194-IB of the Income-tax Act, 1961 requires individuals and HUFs (not covered under Section 194-I tax audit thresholds) paying rent exceeding INR 50,000 per month or part of a month to deduct TDS.
+
+## 2. Rate Rationalization
+To rationalize TDS rates and ease compliance burdens on individual tenants:
+- Prior Rate (Pre-1 October 2024): 5.0%
+- Amended Rate (W.e.f. 1 October 2024): 2.0%
+
+## 3. Statutory Ceiling on Section 206AA
+Per Section 194-IB(4), where Section 206AA applies due to failure by the lessor to furnish a valid PAN, the tax deducted shall not exceed the amount of rent payable for the last month of the previous year or tenancy.

+
+# CBIC Circular No. 170/02/2022-GST: Mandatory Reporting of Permanent Reversals under Rules 42 and 43 in Table 4(B)(1)
+
+## 1. Statutory Context & Legislative Objective
+Prior to July 2022, registered taxpayers frequently reported net Input Tax Credit (ITC) directly in Table 4(A) of Form GSTR-3B after netting off reversals under Rules 42 and 43. This obscured the audit trail between gross auto-drafted ITC in Form GSTR-2B and final credit availed. CBIC Circular No. 170/02/2022-GST established a mandatory, non-negotiable reporting framework enforcing the complete gross ingestion of ITC and strict disclosure of reversals.
+
+## 2. Gross Availment & Permanent Segregation Architecture
+Under the revised instructions:
+1. **Gross Availment (Table 4(A))**: Registered persons must report all ITC auto-drafted in Form GSTR-2B into the relevant fields of Table 4(A), including ineligible credits.
+2. **Permanent / Ineligible Reversals (Table 4(B)(1))**: All reversals which are absolute, definitive, and cannot be reclaimed under any circumstances MUST be reported exclusively in **Table 4(B)(1)**:
+   - Reversal of common credit on inputs and input services attributable to exempt supplies ($D_1$) and non-business use ($D_2$) under Rule 42.
+   - Monthly reversal of common credit on capital goods attributable to exempt supplies ($T_e$) under Rule 43.
+   - Credit blocked under Section 17(5) (e.g. motor vehicles, works contract for immovable property, food and beverages).
+   - Reversal by banking companies / financial institutions electing 50% credit reduction under Section 17(4) read with Rule 38.
+3. **Prohibition of Netting-Off**: Netting off reversals against Table 4(A) credit is strictly prohibited. Table 4(C) Net ITC available must reflect:
+   $$\text{Table 4(C)} = \text{Table 4(A)} - [\text{Table 4(B)(1)} + \text{Table 4(B)(2)}]$$
+
+## 3. Mandatory Annual True-Up Synchronisation
+The monthly reversals reported in Table 4(B)(1) represent provisional calculations. Pursuant to Rule 42(2), these monthly provisional reversals must be reconciled on an annual basis against the aggregate turnover for the entire financial year before the statutory cutoff date.
