Mandatory for rent payments over Rs 50,000 and property purchases over Rs 50 lakh.

New Delhi, April 14 (NationPress) The Income Tax Department has unveiled Form 141, a new integrated challan-cum-statement that supersedes four distinct TDS forms previously used for various transactions.
This new form consolidates Form 26QB, Form 26QC, Form 26QD, and Form 26QE, which were originally designated for TDS on property acquisitions, rent payments, payments to contractors or professionals, and TDS on the transfer of virtual digital assets, respectively.
According to the updated regulations, Form 141 must be utilized to report and remit TDS on rent payments exceeding Rs 50,000 per month and property transactions valued at Rs 50 lakh or more.
Additionally, the form is required for reporting payments for professional services, commission, or contract labor that exceed Rs 50 lakh within a fiscal year for individuals or Hindu Undivided Families not subjected to tax audits.
Payments made for virtual digital assets (VDAs), including cryptocurrencies or NFTs, are also included under the form in Schedule D, subject to certain thresholds.
Taxpayers are required to provide PAN details of both the deductors and deductees, along with the address, mobile number, and email ID for both parties.
Furthermore, information regarding transactions must align with the nature of services provided and the payment or transfer methods used. Form 141 can be submitted through the e-filing portal by entering the PAN in the e-Pay Tax section and selecting the appropriate schedules. Users should fill in the necessary information, complete the online payment, submit the form, and download the challan-cum-statement.
Industry experts noted that a significant shift with Form 141 is that the number of forms required to be filed is now determined by the number of buyers, rather than sellers, allowing multiple sellers to be reported together in a single submission.
The form has also introduced a flexible approach by incorporating the phrase ‘if available’, allowing users to bypass registration details, thereby simplifying the filing process when payments occur prior to formal registration.
