When an NRI sells property in India, tax isn't an afterthought — it affects the price negotiation, the TDS the buyer must deduct, and how much you can repatriate. We help you plan ahead: computing capital gains accurately, identifying available exemptions, and — where eligible — obtaining a lower TDS certificate so the buyer doesn't over-deduct tax at source.
Service Process
01 Capital Gains Computation
We calculate long-term or short-term capital gains based on purchase cost, indexation, and sale value.
02 TDS & Lower Deduction Certificate
Where eligible, we apply for a certificate under Section 197 to reduce the TDS the buyer would otherwise deduct.
03 Exemption Planning
We assess eligibility for exemptions under Sections 54, 54EC, or 54F to reduce your taxable gain.
04 Filing & Repatriation Support
We support the return filing for the gain and help structure the repatriation of sale proceeds.
Service Outcome
- Accurate, defensible capital gains computation
- Reduced upfront TDS through a lower deduction certificate, where eligible
- Maximized use of available exemptions
- A clear path to repatriating your sale proceeds
FAQs
-
1. The buyer wants to deduct 20%+ TDS on my property sale — can this be reduced?
Often, yes — through a lower/nil deduction certificate (Form 13 application), provided your actual tax liability is lower than the standard TDS rate.
-
2. What exemptions can reduce my capital gains tax?
Reinvestment in another residential property (Section 54), capital gains bonds (Section 54EC), or construction of a residential house (Section 54F) — eligibility depends on your specific facts.
