Form 16B is a TDS Certificate which reflects that the amount deducted as TDS on Property by the Buyer has been deposited with the Income Tax Department.
At the time of sale of immovable property, the buyer is required to deduct TDS on Property @ 1% from the amount he has to pay to the seller. This amount is then required to be deposited with the Income Tax Department. (Recommended Read: TDS on Property @ 1% under Section 194IA)
Once the amount has been deposited with the Income Tax Department, the buyer is required to issue Form 16B to the Seller which is a proof of the fact that the TDS deducted on property has been deposited with the Govt.
Just like Form 16 is a TDS Certificate for TDS Deducted from Salary and Form 16A is a TDS Certificate for TDS deducted from all other payments, Form 16B is a TDS Certificate for TDS deducted on Sale of Property.
