Selling my ancestral property in India while living in Canada was a nightmare waiting to happen. I was worried about the capital gains tax and the 20% TDS. The team handled everything. They calculated the exact capital gains, applied for a lower TDS certificate which saved me a huge upfront tax payment, and guided me on reinvesting the proceeds under Section 54EC to legally eliminate the tax. It was incredibly smooth.
Every year, filing my Indian taxes was a scramble. I wasn't sure what income was taxable or how to claim DTAA benefits. Now, it's completely hands-off. They proactively collect my documents, ensure I get full credit for taxes paid in the UK, and file my return on time. I no longer dread the July 31st deadline.
For many NRIs, property in India is their single largest asset. However, selling or transferring it is far from straight forward complex capital gains rules, high TDS rates, and confusing reinvestment provisions can lead to costly mistakes. Our specialized advisory service gives you the clarity, compliance, and confidence to make the right moves and keep more of your money.
Capital Gains Tax Calculation & Planning
We accurately compute your capital gains, distinguishing between short-term (taxed at slab rates) and long-term (taxed at 20%) while applying indexation benefits to reduce your taxable amount significantly.
TDS Compliance & Optimization on Property Sale
When selling property, buyers must deduct TDS at 20% or higher on long-term gains. We guide buyers on the correct process and can apply on your behalf for a lower or nil TDS certificate, freeing up more funds immediately.
Reinvestment Exemption Strategy (Sec. 54, 54EC, 54F)
We help you legally minimize or even eliminate capital gains tax by structuring reinvestment of your sale proceeds into:
Another residential property (Section 54/54F), or
Specified capital gains bonds (Section 54EC).
If you sell property within 2 years of purchase, the gain is short-term and taxed at your income slab rate. After 2 years, it becomes long-term and is taxed at 20% with indexation benefits to adjust for inflation.
