Rules on property worth Rs 50 lakh or more
According to the Income Tax Act, the buyer of any property worth Rs 50 lakh or more will have to pay 1 percent TDS to the central government and 99 percent of the total cost to the seller. Nearly six months after the end of the time limit for linking Aadhaar and PAN, the Income Tax Department has started sending notices to buyers purchasing property worth more than Rs 50 lakh. In this notice they have been asked to pay 20% TDS on the purchase of property.
Buyers and sellers are receiving notices.
According to media reports, hundreds of property buyers have received such notices. Actually, property sellers have not linked their PAN with Aadhaar. In most of the cases, the PAN card of the property seller became inoperative because it was not linked to Aadhaar. In such a situation, buyers whose PAN card is inoperative are receiving notices after a few months to pay the outstanding TDS on purchasing property worth more than Rs 50 lakh.

You can still link PAN and Aadhaar by paying a late fee of Rs 1000.
