TDS for NRI Property — Advisory Guide

TDS Needs Transaction-Specific Review

TDS cannot be handled responsibly with a generic rule. The buyer should confirm seller residency, ownership structure, sale consideration, transaction date, payment schedule, PAN/TAN requirements, and applicable form before releasing funds.

Why Seller Residency Matters

The tax process can change materially if the seller is resident or non-resident. Public tax portals discuss different property TDS forms and note that some forms do not apply when the seller is non-resident, so professional review is necessary.

PIKORUA Coordination Role

PIKORUA Realty keeps the transaction timeline, document set, and payment schedule organized so the buyer's CA and lawyer can give timely advice before agreement and registration.

Common Questions

Advisory FAQ

Everything you need to know about buying property in Ahmedabad as an NRI — from FEMA rules to repatriation of funds.

Does TDS apply when an NRI buys property in India?

TDS may apply depending on the transaction, seller residency, value, and current tax law. The buyer should get CA advice before payment because the form and rate can change with facts.

Is Form 26QB always used for property TDS?

No. The Income Tax portal notes Form 26QB for certain immovable-property TDS cases, but it also notes this form is not applicable where the seller is non-resident and that newer transition forms apply from April 2026. A CA should confirm the correct process.

Can PIKORUA calculate TDS?

PIKORUA coordinates transaction documents and introduces the need for review, but TDS calculation, deposit, and return filing should be handled by a qualified CA or tax professional.
