There is no doubt in saying that Covid-19 has affected the real estate market. Now people have understood the importance of owning a home at a posh area. Due to this pandemic, the demand for good residential property is expected to rise soon as it serves the purpose of providing secure living as well as a good investment option to gain benefits in the future. Prior to this many NRI (Non resident Indians) have seen the potential in Indian real estate and have invested in it. With these unprecedented crises, many people are moving back into their home town, while some are selling their property to settle in another country. It may look like a golden opportunity to buy property from an NRI, as the property is generally as good as new and is also pocket friendly. But it is not as easy to buy a property from an NRI as it is to buy it from a local resident. Many people also get scammed because they lack the proper knowledge or information necessary to purchase a house from non-resident Indians. The NRI’s role in the transaction will require a range of legal and financial obligations for the buyer. If you considering making such a deal, we will fill you up with all the necessary information.
As per Section 195 of Income Tax Act:
In general:
The rates are high and they still include the tax on the offer on capital gains. Since the retailer needs to pay a flat fee of 20% of the real profits as capital gains tax, the customer has to deduct 20% of the transaction amount. To have the money refunded, the seller must contact the tax authorities. On its portion, the seller shall subtract TDS from the overall value of the deal. The buyer must give Form 16A to the seller after the TDS is submitted. Usually, the duty to collect the TDS and send the sum to the authority, irrespective of the nationality of the purchaser, rests with the consumer. Thus, the taxing authorities will ask the buyer and not the seller if the TDS has not been deposited.
In absence of TAN, the IT Department can penalize you. When more than one purchaser is interested, they would also need to get a TAN. On the other side, the seller must have an Indian PAN card. However, they don’t have a TAN requirement. Besides these following things will also help you while purchasing property:
