My brother, an NRI, has a flat that he will be selling next month.

Is it ok to credit the token amount (1 lac) in a joint bank account in which his wife is the first holder and he is the second holder?

His NRO account will be functional when the actual sale takes place.

He plans to accept the sale amount in his own NRO account?

Is it ok if the token amount (1 lac) goes to one account and rest (50 lac ex of TDS) goes into another account?

Will there be any issue at the time of filing the ITR?

Quick Summary

An NRI is selling a flat in India and is seeking advice on how to receive the sale proceeds. The discussion covers whether it's acceptable to credit the token amount to a joint account where his wife is the primary holder, and the main sale amount to his NRO account. It also addresses potential issues with filing income tax returns (ITR) when funds are received in separate accounts and advises on calculating capital gains tax with an auditor.

Both of Husband and Wife need to file Income Tax Returns separately based on the Capital

Gains Income and Tax Limit. Please arrange to compute Capital Gain Tax Workings with your Auditor.

They can receive the amount in two different account.
