TDS @ 20.8 is applicable if property held by the NRI is held for more than 2 years. 

However, if the property has been held by the NRI for less than 2 years, 31.2% would be the rate of TDS which would be applicable.

Therefore, the tax officer is correct in sending this notice as 31.2% TDS is applicable in such a case. 

 

Hi, I have a question in this case. Can the benefit of form 26A be applied in this case if the payee (though NRI) has filed his return u/s 139 and paid the applicable tax
