As per the Indian Income Tax Act, when a resident purchases any property from a non resident, he has to deduct income tax (TDS) and pay the balance amount to the seller.
He has to deduct 20% of the sale consideration as tax before making the net payment to seller.
Buyer should first obtain TAN under section 203A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 before deducting TDS. TAN can be obtained by applying buy filling up the Form 49B.
TDS must be deducted at the time of making the payment to the NRI. The information about the TDS being deducted and the rate at which it was deducted should be mentioned in the sale deed between the NRI seller and the buyer.
The TDS deducted by the buyer should be deposited through Form number or challan for TDS payment on or before the 7th of next month in which the TDS is deducted.
The TDS can be deposited through banks that are authorised by government of India or the Income Tax Department to collect Direct Taxes. The deposit has to be made by the buyer.

Hello, I am planning to purchase one property in Kolkata, WB, India from NRI seller.
Actual Sale Price=INR 35,00,000 on Feb 2019
Actual Purchase Price=INR 10,22,200 on 2011
My Queries:
1> Is TDS needs to be deducted on this transaction as property value is less than 50L INR
2> If TDS needs to be deducted, what would be the calculation and TDS amount.
3> Is TDS needs to be calculated on actual sale value or on the capital gain.
Planning to buy property from NRI
Seller is insisting to deduct TDS as per capital gain only
What we should do?
In one of your other blogs, you had mentioned that TAN is not needed for TDS on sale of property. But this post contradicts. We are buying property from NRI. Is TAN mandatory?
very informative blog on NRI lower TDS certificate
