TDS- Residential property purpose of NRI

This discussion addresses the applicability of surcharge and health/education cess when deducting Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on residential property purchases from a Non-Resident Indian (NRI). The original poster deducted TDS without these additional charges, assuming they weren't applicable. The advice provided clarifies that a 4% health and education cess is indeed applicable on any amount deducted from NRIs for TDS, regardless of the property value, and requires the buyer to have a TAN.
