Quick Summary
When a resident of India purchases unlisted equity shares from an NRI, TDS must be deducted on the long-term capital gain. Even without a TAN, you can use your PAN to deduct and deposit TDS at 20% (plus surcharge and cess) using Challan 281. Ensure compliance by issuing a TDS certificate (Form 16A) and potentially filing a TDS return (Form 27Q).

*Challan No. 281*: The buyer can deposit the TDS using Challan No. 281, mentioning the PAN number and the NRI seller's details. 

Compliance Requirements -

*TDS Certificate*: The buyer should issue a TDS certificate (Form 16A) to the NRI seller, detailing the TDS deducted and deposited. - 

*Filing of TDS Return*: Although the buyer doesn't have a TAN, they might still need to file a TDS return (Form 27Q) for deducting tax on payments to NRIs.

Key Considerations -
