The CBDT has amended Income-tax Rules, 2026, allowing buyers to deposit and report TDS under Section 393(2) of the Income-tax Act, 2025 through a PAN-based challan-cum-statement in Form 141. The changes will take effect from October 1, 2026. The move, which follows the Budget 2026 announcement, is aimed at simplifying compliance for property buyers, particularly in transactions that may be one-off in nature.
