I'll address both questions: Question
1: Resident Transferring Funds to Own Foreign Bank Account
1. *TCS Applicability (LRS Scheme)*: Under the Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS), a resident can transfer funds to their own foreign bank account.
However, the bank may deduct Tax Collected at Source (TCS) at a rate of 5% (or 10% if the PAN is not provided) if the remittance exceeds ₹7 lakhs in a financial year.
2. *Option to File 15CA Part D*: If the resident has already paid tax on the income, they can file Form 15CA Part D, which is a declaration that the tax has already been paid.
In this case, the bank may not deduct TCS.
3. *Bank Insists on 15CB*: If the bank insists on Form 15CB, the Chartered Accountant (CA) will mention the TDS amount as "nil" if tax has already been paid on the income. Question
2: NRI Transferring Funds to Own Foreign Bank Account 1. *TDS Paid Under Section 195*: If an NRI has paid TDS under Section 195 on the sale of immovable property, they can claim a refund or adjust it against their tax liability.
2. *CA's Mention in 15CB*: In Form 15CB, the CA will mention the TDS amount as "nil" if tax has already been deducted under Section 195.
3. *15CA Part D Sufficient*: If the NRI has already paid TDS under Section 195, filing Form 15CA Part D may be sufficient, and the CA's certificate in Form 15CB may not be required.
