TDS on sale of property


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) applicable when a US citizen sells property in India. Regardless of whether the sale is conducted via a General Power of Attorney (GPA) to a cousin or through a personal visit by the seller (who possesses an Aadhaar and PAN card), the buyer is liable to deduct TDS at 20% plus applicable cess and surcharge on the sale value. Additionally, the seller requires a TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number) to pay TDS, which can be applied for online through TIN NSDL and typically takes one day to obtain.
