My wife won a flat in a lottery by MHADA in Mumbai. This was in 05/2012. The possession is expected to be given to us soon, 95% of the payment is done. My questions is that will the TDS @1% be applicable after the final payment or otherwise?

As per section 194IA of Income Tax Act, the transferee is required to deduct TDS @ 1% at the time of credit of sum to the account of the transferor or at the time of payment of such sum if the total consideration is 50 lakhs or above. The said section was introduced w.e.f 1st June, 2013. Accordingly any payment made by you on or after 1st June, 2013 and if your purchase consideration is more than Rs. 50,00,000/- then TDS @ 1% is to be deducted.
