Tds on payment made to nri

I am buying a flat from an NRI residing in the Middle East.  For this, I will be making payments using rupee DD / rupee cheques which the NRI will be depositing in their NRE or NRO account in Mumbai.  Some other facts.  I am an individual.  Flat is in Mumbai.  NRI bought this flat in 2006.

Q1 : Is there a TDS liability for me as a buyer?  Even though the amount is not being remitted abroad but being deposited in an NRE or NRO account in Mumbai.

Q2: If there is a TDS liability, how do I determine the TDS amount?  Is it a flat 20.6% of the total consideration?  Or only the capital gain tax liability of the seller?  The sellers CA has given me a certificate on his letter head computing the capital gains liability, but is not in the format of Form 15CB.  He says that as the payment is being made to NRE / NRO account in India, there is no requirement of complying with the requirement of Form 15CB and Form 15CA (for online payment of TDS).

Clarifications on the above will be much appreciated and welcome.

1. Yes there is liability for you to deduct TDS u/s 195 even if the cheque is deposited in NRO account in India.

2. TDS amount shall have to determined by a person qualified to deal in such situations as there are many rules and regulations to take care of.Or safely if the seller agrees you can deduct TDS on 20.6% of sale value.(in case of long term capital asset)

 

Form 15CA and 15CB is required as he payment is being made to a non-resident.

I wanted to know the TDS rate for subscripttion payment of $1000 to NRI and Patent charges to NRI who has there branch in India having PAN

If the Branch in India doesn't have any corelation with the royalty and if the agreement is after 1.6.205 and if the NRI is having PAN then 10.51% otherwise 20% or 40% ,depending on the facts of the case.
