  1. I am an NRI but I am having PAN. I am planning to sale a property in kolkata , India. In my case TDS will be 1% or 20%

  2. What are the implications, if the builder by mistake accepts full cheque payment of flat value without asking the buyer to deduct TDS @ 1%.????
    Is there any penalty?????????

  3. Problem being faced by returning Indian from overseas. In this nstance, an NRI intending to return to India after decades, finalised purchase of a residential house in India. Having finalised the deal, he returned with family, bag & baggage and purchased the house he intends to reside in. As per provisions, 1% of the sale consideration has been withheld and transferred to CA for payment to Tax authorities. The problem being faced by him is that he does not have a PAN card, which he has already applied for. In the absence of PAN card of buyer (NRI), he is unable to pay TDS deducted online. Please advise what can be done under the circumstances. Please treat this as urgent.

    1. Dear Sir,

      To the best of our knowledge you can only file the return after having valid PAN. This means after you get the PAN you can file the return.

  4. AS PER 194 IA TDS SHOULD BE DEDUCTED @1%. ARE SAME PROVISIONS APPLICABLE FOR NRI ALSO PREVIOUSELY IT IS 20% TDS RATE ON VALUE. NOW CAN IT BE 1% ONLY THAT TOO IF PROPERTY SALE VALUE IS MORE THAN 50 LAKHS? PLEASE GIVE CLARITY.
    THANK, YOU

    1. Dear Sir,

      This section is not applicable for non residents as they are already covered in section 195 of income tax act.

  5. We have bought a property above 50 Lakhs and made the payment in installments say agreement value is 65 Lakh and we have made payment of 50 Lakhs before 31.03.2013 and bal amt 15 Lakhs paid on 15.6.2013 and the date of registration of the property is 25-June-2013. Please let us know whether we should deduct TDS @1% on full value of Rs.65 Lakh or the payment made after 1 June 2013 i.e. on Rs.15 Lakh, Please clarify.

    1. Dear Sir,

      We haven¢t received the full documentation about this section.

      Please consult this vital issue with your tax consultant or chartered accountant as they are the best person to guide you on this.
