Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications for non-residents selling property in India. Key points covered include TDS deduction under Section 195, the correct challan form for payment (Challan 281), and the necessity of a TAN number for the buyer. It also addresses the calculation of capital gains indexation, specifying that the agreement to sell date is considered.
1. When a NRI makes a sale of property in India the buyer is required to deduct TDS under section 195 of the Income Tax Act 1961. The rate of the tax deduction is not fixed at 1% unlike section 194IA in this case. Rather, it would depend upon the nature of capital gains arising out of the transaction.
2. This TDS is required to be deposited along with Challan No./ ITNS 281
