Section 195 of income tax act provides that : In case of sale of property by NRI, it is mandatory for buyer to deduct 20.66% TDS on the sale price of the property if capital gain is long term capital gain. In case of short term capital gain, TDS will be 33.99% irrespective of income tax slab of NRI

2) you have to deduct 20.66 percent TDS on sale price even if value of property is lss than Rs 50 lakhs

3) NRI is liable to pay Capital Gain Tax only on the Capital Gain arising out of sale of the property but unfortunately TDS is deducted on the total Sale Value of the property. If there are no GAINS from the sale of property and actually NRI incur LOSS from the sale of the property if TDS refund is not claimed. As a result, NRI has to go through the process of claiming TDS refund from Income Tax Department.

4) NRIs are allowed to remit up to $1 million from the sale proceeds of property in India from their NRO account.

Yes payment via NRO will be fine after deduction of TDS on capital gain.

No RBI permission is required.

Further the seller can also approach jurisdictional income tax office for the exemption certificate on TDs under this if he get TDs only his taxable amount of capital gain will be deducted so he will get benifit.

On selling a property by an OCI, taxes have to be paid if they are

selling this property. On sale of the property, the profit on sale shall be subject to capital gains.

Non-Residents (NRI) on the other hand do not reside in India, many of them hold foreign citizenship. Once they sell their property in India and capital gains occur, it is not easy for the Indian Tax Department to ensure compliance for those settled abroad. To ensure compliance of Indian tax laws, as per rules TDS is deducted by the buyer when property is sold in India. If the buyer of NRI property fails to deduct TDS then they may become liable for taxes due on the property they purchased. TDS u/s 195 is deducted to ensure capital gain tax compliance.

TDS is to be deducted at the rate of 20% plus Education Cess and Secondary and Higher Education Cess which works out to the rate of 20.6% on gross transaction value if sale price is less than 1 Crore. •In case the sale price is above Rs.1 Crore at the rate of TDS works out to 22.66% including Surcharge, Education Cess and Secondary and Higher Education Cess.

The mere acquisition of property does not attract income tax. However, any income accruing from

the ownership of it, in the form of rent (if it is let out)/annual value of the house (if is not let out and it is not the only residential property owned by that person in India) and/or capital gains (short term or long term) arising on the sale of this house or part thereof is taxable in the hands of the owner. The amount paid should be subject to deduction of TDS.
