Form 16B is required in those cases where you bought an immovable property for a consideration in excess of Rs. 50 lakhs and you have deducted TDS @1% while making payment to the vendor. For deducting TDS from your payments you are required to issue certificate in Form 16B to the person from whose payment TDS has been deducted.
Form 16B has to be downloaded from trace portal maintained by IT department. However, you will not be able to download form 16B if after deducting TDS from the payments you have not submitted form 26QB to tax department.
After making payment of the deducted TDS amount through Challan 26QB, you can see it in your form 26AS reflecting with break up for each amount paid and acknowledgement number for that.
Form 16B can be downloaded in two steps. First you need to register yourself as a tax payer and then through your tax payer login you will be able to download it.
