Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies when Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) under Section 195 should be applied when purchasing immovable property from a Non-Resident Indian (NRI). The consensus is that TDS should be deducted based on the agreement date, even if registration occurs later. Participants debate the relevant financial year for capital gains and reporting, with a strong leaning towards the financial year in which the agreement was made for TDS purposes, even if the registration falls into the next financial year.

As the agreement has been entered into the TDS needs to be deducted on 31.03.2021 on the full value of consideration.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have one more question, the said transaction will be reported in AIR by IGR in FY 2020-21 or FY 2021-22 since the agreement is registered in FY 2021-22

I think it will be the registered year that is FY 21-22. Also you have to claim the capital gain or loss in FY 21-22

Agree with Zeal
I opine that capital gain will be calculated for the year FY 2020-21. however IGR will report in FY 2021-21.


TDS to be deducted on Rs. 2 lakh on 01.03.2021.

TDS to be deducted on balance amount on 31.03.2021.

You need to pay TDS by 30th April 2021.

So basically if the seller has to apply for lower deduction, it has to be for FY 2020-21 or FY 2021-22?

It will be for FY 2020-21

When the Agreement is registered in April 2021 then it will fall in FY 21-22.also in income tax under the AIR transaction it will appear in FY 21-22 so to avoid unnecessary litigation advisable to offer gain in FY 21-22. Further Seller won't be able to apply for Lower TDS for FY 20-21 as the year is already over.
