Although, as and when you <a href=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/income-tax-return-filing\/\">file your income tax return<\/a>, you can claim it as a refund.

It is a fact that before you approach a buyer if you consult a CA, he will give you value addition. Although, they will charge some amount for giving their consulting fees that is going to be worth it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note: Whether you can consult with any CA, my advice to you is to consult those CA who are practicing in <a href=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/income-tax-rules-for-nri\/\">NRI taxation<\/a> or international taxation because they are professional in this. They knew, what kind of problems could arise during the deal and how to tackle such issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since it is a specialized field If you take advice from any CA who is not dealing with these kinds of transactions on a daily basis, then for this, he may have to study the facts and other provisions which may take some time, delay the process and this may not be benefited to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our firm has been handling these kinds of cases for the past 3 years and gives consultancy to more than 500 NRIs on the lower deduction of TDS or resolving the issues relating to the sale of the property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recently, there was a change in the provisions in the law which make it possible for the NRI to apply for the lower deduction of TDS or nil-rated TDS certificate online on the income tax portal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/nri-lower-tds-certificate-sale-of-property-in-india\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2892\" src=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/unnamed-3.png\" alt=\"TDS Certificate\" width=\"700\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/unnamed-3.png 700w, https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/unnamed-3-300x64.png 300w, https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/unnamed-3-20x4.png 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"STEP-2_Transfer_your_Permanent_Account_Number_PAN\"><\/span><b>STEP-2: Transfer your Permanent Account Number (PAN)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we already know the PAN number is the alphanumeric number by which the income tax department can identify the taxpayer. However, you will be surprised to know that for NRI taxation and International Taxation, the taxpayer\u2019s jurisdiction would be different from the local jurisdiction and it shall be called international jurisdiction. Now, for applying the lower rate of TDS certificate or Nil-rated TDS certificate, your PAN must be in the international jurisdiction. In most of the cases, it is seen that the PAN of NRI is lying in the local jurisdiction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hence if you are willing to apply for such<a href=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/tds-certificate\/\"> a TDS certificate<\/a>, then you must transfer your PAN number from the local jurisdiction to international Jurisdiction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this, you have to file 2 letters out of which one shall be sent to your existing Assessing officer which is in the local jurisdiction, and request him to transfer your PAN to the international jurisdiction and the next letter filed to the international jurisdiction income tax officer and request him to issue NO objection certificate (NOC) that you have accepted such transfer of PAN from local jurisdiction officer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The whole process can take almost 15 to 20 days, so if you do this before you have identified the buyer then it will save 15 to 20 days because it has been seen in many cases that the buyer has canceled the deal when the seller could not complete all the requirement of the deal within the prescribed time period agreed between you and them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, all these things can be done by a Chartered Accountant who is practicing in these kinds of transactions and you would not need to take any tension.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"STEP_3_Collect_your_Documents\"><\/span><b>STEP 3: Collect your Documents<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However for applying the lower TDS or Nil-rated TDS certificate, one has to attach many documents. Let me give you a brief about it.\u00a0 If you want to know about the complete list then you may send us the Email or What\u2019s the app your query. Following is the list of documents that NRI would require for applying the certificate:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Permanent Account Number (PAN Number)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Original Purchase Agreement, i.e. title document of the said property.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No objection certificate (NOC), issued by the said previous owner of the property.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Copy of approved plan and occupation certificate, which would be issued by the appropriate authority, Municipal Corporation of Development.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you bought the property before the financial year 2000-01, then a certificate from the valuation officer or from the stamp duty authority specifies the value of the property.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other necessary Documents.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/pages.razorpay.com\/free-nri-tax-consulting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3544 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/TDS-save.jpg\" alt=\"Save Tds \" width=\"700\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/TDS-save.jpg 700w, https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/TDS-save-300x64.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/TDS-save-20x4.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"STEP_4_Finding_a_Buyer\"><\/span><b>STEP 4: Finding a Buyer<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you find your buyer he will give you the token money and after that, you will enter into MOU i.e. you are agreeing with the terms and conditions on which you will sell the property to a buyer. Now, as and when you have entered into the MOU, you have to immediately ask the buyer for the TAN number.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> Do not confuse with the PAN number and TAN number. PAN number, as we above specified that it is an alphanumeric number by which the income tax authority identifies you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/form-49b-for-tan-application\/\">TAN number<\/a> is a Tax account number that is used to pay TDS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means if you and your buyer do not contain the TAN number then you will not be able to apply for the TDS certificate. So even in the case, that your income as per the computation of income is nil then also you have to get the TAN number.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"STEP_5_Filing_Online_form_Number_13\"><\/span><b>STEP 5: Filing Online form Number 13<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This step is the most crucial step in the whole process. In this step, you have to apply for a lower deduction of TDS in form 13 to the income tax department as per section 197 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, and upload the above-specified documents along with the computation of Income as supporting documents which state that the tax to be paid is much less than the 23% of the consideration value. When you have done this then only after verifying all the documents, the income tax officer shall issue the certificate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In many cases, we have noticed that the department has delayed the issuance of certificates due to a delay in receiving of TAN number or delay in receiving documents. These all happen due to coordination issues between buyer and seller. So, in this case, we are giving you a bonus tip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are willing to get the lower TDS then you should try to appoint the same chartered Accountant for the buyer and for the seller because when there is the same CA, the process shall be sped up and faster and it would not get delayed due to any communication gap. Hence, you may ask the buyer to have the same CA for this particular transaction so that the coordination would not become an issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our firm is also offering packages for <a href=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/tds-deduction-on-property\/\">buyer compliance<\/a> and seller compliance in which we will handle end-to-end compliance i.e. starting from the deal to the completion of the transaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"STEP_6_Getting_the_lower_or_Nil_rated_TDS_certificate\"><\/span><b>STEP 6: Getting the lower or Nil rated TDS certificate<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What would you do, once you receive the certificate from the income tax department? You will have to send one copy of the certificate to the buyer and the buyer shall further send it to his bank and only after receiving such a certificate, the bank shall disburse the consideration amount to your bank account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/nri-lower-tds-certificate-sale-of-property-in-india\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3452 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/TDS-CERTIFICATE-1.jpg\" alt=\"TDS CERTIFICATE\" width=\"700\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/TDS-CERTIFICATE-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/TDS-CERTIFICATE-1-300x64.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/TDS-CERTIFICATE-1-20x4.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"STEP_7_Transferring_the_money_to_your_foreign_Account\"><\/span><b>STEP 7: Transferring the money to your foreign Account<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, after selling the property, if you do not want to invest in India, then you will need a certificate from your chartered Accountant in form 15CB and once you get the attested copy from your CA, you have to submit the attested copy to your Bank and only after that bank will transfer the money to your foreign Account. Basically, this certificate implies that you have complied with all the laws and regulations, you have paid the taxes if any,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case, you do not want to send the money but want to further invest in India, then there is a separate provision made for this. For example: if NRI has invested in certain bonds within 6 months from the date of transfer of property then he shall be eligible for the exemption as per section 54EC of the Income Tax Act, 1961. This is just an example. There are many other options available in which you can save the tax by making investments in certain schemes as mentioned in the Income-tax Act, 1961. You can refer to our previous article for this but here let\u2019s assume that you are transferring the money to your foreign bank account, so you just have to submit the<a href=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/form-15ca-and-15cb\/\"> form 15CA\/15CB.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"STEP_8_Filing_your_Income-tax_Return\"><\/span><b>STEP 8: Filing your Income-tax Return<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one is the last step but most people forget to follow this. In this step, you have to file your income tax return. Once you receive the money, your work is not over. You have to file the ITR stating all the details of the sale of the property and compliance. This will also be done by your chartered Accountant. I told you this is the most forgettable step because of the time gap, so if you have sold the property in the month of September 2019, then you have to <a href=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/income-tax-return-filing\/\">file the ITR<\/a> for the AY 20-21 and mention all the details of such sale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the above steps, we have discussed in detail the procedure that is required to be followed by the NRI at the time of selling property in India. However, sometimes it is not feasible for him to manage all these things by residing abroad. In this case, he can make a power of attorney in the name of his relative or any other person who may reside in India. By giving power of attorney, you are authorizing him to do all the above-mentioned things on your behalf. Hence, it is necessary that you should transfer the power of attorney to that person to whom you have belief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope this article has fulfilled its
