You have not mentioned the place which you belongs to, however, the TDS is not required to be paid, but, the VAT has to be paid at the prevalent rate i.e. @ 1.25% on the market value of the flat at the time of registration of the flat (if you belongs to Andhra Pradesh). TDS under VAT provisions is required to be paid by the Builder/contractor/Developer in the cases of execution of works contract. Not by the prospective purchaser or buyer of the flat.
