Frequently asked questions
When should an NRI apply for the lower-TDS certificate?
Before executing the sale – ideally 6 to 8 weeks ahead. The Form 13 certificate under Section 197 (now Section 395 of the Income-tax Act 2025) limits the buyer’s TDS to the tax on the actual gain instead of the full sale price, which otherwise locks up lakhs until your refund.
What TDS forms does the buyer file for an NRI sale?
The buyer needs a TAN, deposits TDS via Challan 281 by the 7th of the next month, files Form 27Q quarterly, and issues Form 16A. Form 26QB (the 1% resident form) does not apply when the seller is an NRI.
How does an NRI repatriate the sale proceeds?
Proceeds go to the NRO account; repatriation up to USD 1 million per financial year is permitted under FEMA with Form 15CA and a CA-certified Form 15CB.
