NRIs planning to sell their property frequently ask about the TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) rate applicable to such transactions. The confusion arises because of differing answers found on Google and from various experts. Some say 1%, others mention 20%, and still others suggest 30%. This blog post aims to clarify the TDS rates applicable in different scenarios and why it is crucial to understand these rates before proceeding with the sale.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t let reading hold your back, watch our video instead<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pm6zgTuwSrc?si=VUI0w75kfCAvHz26\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_TDS_Rates_on_Property_Sales\"><\/span>Understanding TDS Rates on Property Sales<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The TDS rate on property sales depends on the type of capital gain, which is determined by how long you have held the property.
