27 January 2026 TDS on Total Value: By default, the buyer is supposed to deduct TDS on the entire ₹1.5 Cr (usually at 20% + cess), which results in a huge tax outflow (approx. ₹30+ Lakhs).

Lower Deduction Certificate (LDC): To avoid this, your client should apply for a Certificate for Lower Deduction of Tax under Section 197. This allows the buyer to deduct tax only on the actual "Gain" (the ₹6-7 Lakhs calculated above) rather than the whole sale price.

Repatriation: To take the money to Dubai, the client will need Form 15CA and 15CB (certified by a Chartered Accountant) to prove that all taxes have been paid before the bank allows the transfer
