TDS on Property (NRI)-Urgent

Yes, TDS on sale of property would be deducted @ 20% + Cess  + Surcharge on the entire sale consideration. 

However, an NRI can get this reduced by filing an application for Lower Deduction of TDS with the Income Tax Officer. The tax officer will verify the application along with supporting documents and if deemed fit, he will issue an application for Lower Deduction of TDS.

This application for Lower Deduction of TDS is required to be filed by the NRI in Form 13 and can be filed online.
