Myself & my wife are NRI's since last four years.
We dont have any income in INDIA. So we didnot file tax return also.
Last year July 2009 , I purchased a flat in my wife name around Rs. 7,00.000/- Money witdrawn from my NRE account ( Not from my wife account)& paid as cash payment to seller.
Now My wife received a letter from IT dept about PAN no details & status of IT assesment of this tyransaction.

1. You have to clarify your situation as regards with your present status of NRI and your staying abroad. * 2. You may clarify the source of investment. in the said letter. * 3. Reason for non availability of PAN No.- as mentioned above. * 4. You need not to pay Income Tax unless the property is actually let out. You may show it as a self occupied property. * 5. In case property is let out and (Rent Receivable-30% of Rent) is less than 160000/, you need not to worry.
