TDS on Sale of House Property by NRI to Resident

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) implications when a resident in India purchases a house property from a Non-Resident Indian (NRI). The key question revolves around the correct TDS rate, with advice pointing towards 22.88% under Section 195 for long-term gains and potentially higher for short-term gains, rather than the standard 1% or 20% applicable to resident-to-resident sales. It also touches upon the buyer's obligation to obtain a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) and the process of using Form 26QB for remittance, noting that TAN isn't always required for the NRI seller but is crucial for the buyer's TDS deduction.

The NRI is having PAN in India.

15 February 2020 TDS will be deducted @ 22.88% u/s 195 on full consideration if the gain is long term. If gain is short term then it is @ 34.32% ie., Tax+ Scharge+ cess. The NRI can apply for lower deduction with AO in form 13 stating that TDS needs to be done only on gain part rather than full value of consideration.
