Long term capital gain tax will be 22.66% if NRI is selling a property in India after holding it for more than 3 years. In case holding period is less than 3 years then Short Term Capital Gain Tax will be applicable as per income tax slab. In case of short term capital gain, TDS applicable will be 33.99% irrespective of tax slab of the NRI.

In case of sale of property by NRI, it is mandatory for buyer to deduct 20.66% TDS on the sale price of the property if capital gain is long term capital gain. In case of short term capital gain, TDS will be 33.99% irrespective of income tax slab of NRI.TDS is applicable even if value of property is less than 50 lakhs.

Can u give me a favour

Please specify the relevant section and notifications

 

NRI need not do anything.

Buyer should deduct TDS u/s 195.

If the seller is a foreign country of residence and has DTAA with Indian government i.e. lower rate of TDS is allowed. NRI need to submit a tax residency certification from the country of his residence.
