When purchasing unlisted equity shares from an NRI, the buyer (Resident of India) is required to deduct TDS on the Long-Term

Capital Gain (LTCG). Here's what you need to do: TDS Deduction -

*Section 195*: As per Section 195 of the Income-tax Act, the buyer is required to deduct TDS on the LTCG payable to the NRI seller. - 

*Rate of TDS*: The rate of TDS would be 20% (plus applicable surcharge and cess) on the LTCG. No TAN Number -

 *PAN of Buyer*: In the absence of a TAN number, the buyer can use their PAN number to deduct and deposit the TDS. -

*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 -

 *Consult Tax Professional*: Given the complexity of TDS regulations and NRI taxation, it's advisable to consult a tax professional to ensure compliance. -

*Documentation*: Maintain proper documentation, including the share purchase agreement, payment details, and TDS deposit receipts.

 By following these steps and consulting with a tax professional if needed, you can ensure compliance with TDS regulations.
