It is a tax that is paid together with any payment to the vendor, as the name indicates. It is a direct tax, as opposed to income tax, payed at the point of the transaction.

How much TDS is imposed on the sale of real estate?
TDS is imposed on the sale of immovable property other than agricultural land in accordance with Section 194-IA of the Income Tax Act. Apartments, pieces of land, single homes, and commercial properties are all examples of immovable property.
Only if the consideration value of the sale of a property exceeds Rs. 50 lacs is TDS applicable (Rupees Fifty Lacs). No TDS is due if the property is sold for less than Rs. 50 lacs.
The sale price of the property, as well as any additional payments for things like parking spaces, clubhouse dues, electricity and water metre connections, etc., are all included in the sale consideration.
TDS is owed at the rate of 1% of the entire purchase price of the property. The rate of TDS on the sale of property has been lowered to 0.75% of the entire selling consideration if the property is sold between May 14 and March 31, 2021, in light of the economic downturn brought on by the Coronavirus outbreak.
However, it should be noted that TDS is applied on the full amount, not only the difference amount, if the sale price of the property exceeds Rs. 50 lacs.
Think about a property that is being sold for Rs. 60 lacs, for instance. Therefore, the TDS would apply to the full Rs. 60 lacs and not only the Rs. 10 lacs difference (60 lacs – 50 lacs).
