TDS


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and capital gains tax for non-residents selling property in India. Even if the sale value is under 50 lakhs, 20% TDS plus cess applies to non-residents, regardless of Indian origin or holding an Aadhaar card. While the buyer must deduct TDS, sellers can claim a refund of excess TDS by filing an Income Tax Return (ITR). Capital gains tax will be adjusted against the TDS deducted, with any balance refunded upon ITR filing.

10 June 2020 Sir ..can you plz reply to my above query.. Thanks in advance.

10 June 2020 50 lacs limit not applicable to nonresdent.
20% TDS applicable for sale of property by nonresdent.

10 June 2020 Sir, if you are person of Indian origin than in my opinion 20% TDS plus CESS on LTCG is applicable.

10 June 2020 Sir is it necessary for buyer to deduct TDS from sale amount at the time of payment,
can seller claim full refund of TDS later
in my case if i come to India and make the sale , will i still be treated a Non resident and TDS applicable.
because i have aadhar card as Id proof.

10 June 2020 It's necessary for buyer to deduct TDS from sale amount at the time of payment, seller can claim full refund of TDS later if it's not taxable.
If you come to India for a short visit to sell the property you will be considered as nonresdent.
