NRI Seller -tds not deducted

Can someone please help.

A senior citizen (nri) sold his property in India recently worth Rs. 15lacs. He account was credited with the entire sale price and no tds was deducted by the buyer. 

1) should've the buyer deducted 20% plus surcharge?

2) what can the seller do now. Should he pay this tds himself, if yes.  What is the procedure?

Quick Summary
A senior citizen NRI sold property in India for Rs. 15 lacs, but the buyer failed to deduct TDS. The discussion clarifies that the buyer should have deducted 20% TDS under Section 195. The seller can now choose to pay the TDS themselves and should follow the prescribed procedure. Alternatively, the buyer could pay the TDS and seek reimbursement from the seller.

The transaction is covered by Section 195 , payment to non resident and provisions of sale of immovable property has no relevance in NRI taxation

Hence the buyer rightly deducted tds at 20%
