This discussion clarifies the TDS rate applicable when an NRI buys immovable property in India for over ₹50 lakhs. While Section 194-IA typically mandates a 1% TDS, a temporary 25% reduction in TDS rates was introduced from May 14, 2020, to March 31, 2021, due to the pandemic. This reduction applies to property acquisitions, meaning the applicable TDS rate for the remaining payment in this case is 0.75%.
