Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the process for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) looking to transfer funds abroad after selling an Indian property. It confirms that Form 15CA and 15CB are generally required, even if the NRI status wasn't declared initially and TDS was deducted. The advice suggests applying to the international taxation division in Delhi to settle any capital gains tax before transferring funds. It also addresses the possibility of a wife transferring her share to her husband's account for a consolidated foreign transfer.

09 May 2022 NRI - Husband and wife sold Flat and sum has been credited in Indian Bank account.
NRI status was not declared at the time of sale transaction and buyer has deducted 1% TDS from sale consideration
Now NRI wants to transfer funds to his account in Foreign Country

My question is
Whether Form 15CA and 15CB is required to transfer funds ? If yes whether Remitter and Remitee will be same since it is transfer of funds
Also can wife transfer her funds in bank account of her husband and husband can transfer full proceeds to his account in Foreign Country ?

09 May 2022 15CA and 15CB required, yes, still it's required in such a case.
Yes, such transfer allowed.
First apply to international taxation division at Delhi and pay applicable capital gains tax and then transfer funds.

09 May 2022 After deducting indexed cost of acquisition from sale proceeds there are no capital gains and there is long term capital gains loss. Then also i should apply to international taxation division at Delhi ??
Also can wife transfer her funds in bank account of her husband and husband can transfer full proceeds to his account in Foreign Country ?






09 May 2022 Yes, in view of TDS not deducted.
Such transfer of funds no problem in foreign countries.
