Income Tax obligations when property is purchased /sold by NRI

Income Tax obligations when the property is sold for 2-3 crores by NRI.

With that money, the same NRI purchases another property of around the same value ie. 2-3 crores. 

What are the obligations, he has to fulfil?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the income tax obligations for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) when selling and purchasing property in the UK. If an NRI sells a property, the buyer is responsible for deducting TDS and filing returns, provided the seller has a valid PAN. However, if an NRI buys property, they must deduct TDS at 1% on the sale value, file Form 26QB, and issue Form 16B. For NRIs selling property, a regular TAN application and TDS filing route is necessary, and applying for a lower TDS certificate can help minimise blocked funds and potential refunds.

If NRI Sold the house and he has valid PAN then it's purchaser headache to deduct tds and file tds returns.

No obligation on NRI

If NRI bought the property then he or she has to deduct tds at 1% on sale value and fill form 26QB and issue form 16B
When property is sold it's transfer of capital asset.
26QB is not applicable if seller is NRI.

One has to apply for regular route of TAN application and tds filing
Apply for lower TDS certificate so that the amount is not blocked unnecessarily and refund can be minimised.
