This discussion clarifies the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) requirements for non-residents selling property in India. Specifically, it addresses whether TDS applies to the entire sale consideration or just the long-term capital gain (LTCG). The consensus points towards TDS being deducted on the entire sale amount at a rate of 20.8%, referencing Section 195 of the Indian Income Tax Act. It also touches upon the necessary documentation, suggesting that the non-resident's PAN is generally sufficient.
