Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) implications when purchasing property from a Non-Resident Indian (NRI). It confirms that the buyer must obtain a Tax Deduction Account Number (TAN) and outlines TDS rates based on whether the property is held long-term (20% plus surcharge/cess) or short-term (slab rates). The PAN of the NRI seller is not mandatory, but identity proof is required. For multiple buyers, one buyer can deduct the total TDS.

TDS is to be done as per provisions of Section 195

Answers to your 4 questions.

1) YES Buyer require TAN for deducting TDS( only aplicable to immovable property)

2) FOR Tds rates Refer section 195
there are 3 types of rates based on income
3) Need not required pan of seller, but required identity proof
4) optional
Where a property is purchased from NRI by a person resident in India, buyer shall have to deduct the TDS u/s 195 of the Act.

1. Buyer shall have to obtain TAN , it is mandatory.
2. Where the property held by the buyer for more than 2 years ( Long Term), tds shall be deducted @ 20 % which shall be further increased by applicable rate of surcharge and education cess. ( surcharge is subject to Marginal relief). In case the property held for less than 2 years ( Short Term), the tax shall be deducted as per the slab rate.
3. PAN of the NRI is not mandatory.
4. According to me, TDS deduction by only 1 buyer shall suffice.
What would be tds rate in pan available Case and PAN not available case because one seller has PAN available and one has not..
