My Friend is NRI and he have house property in Chennai and Decided to sell his property in coming months . Now, he has doubft about TDS deduction of 20% and cess. Is it applicable for TDS for sale of propery to resident & Is it applicable on sale Value or capital gain and also is any possible way to reduce the rate of TDS becasue of capital gain tax is less than the Amount of TDS Deduction.

Hi,

In said case, buyer of the property is required to file an application to the concerned assessing officer to determine the value of capital gain and deduct TDS as per assessing officer order. Only through this way, seller can optimize his TDS deduction on sale of immovable property i.e. TDS deduction of capital gain instead of total consideration.

In the absence of the above, tds would be deducted on the total consideration i.e. 85 lakh.
