    NRI Property Sale In India

    Comprehensive property sale advisory for Non-Resident Indians

    The Indian real estate market is a rewarding investment for both Resident Indians and NRIs. However, selling, purchasing, or managing property in India can be confusing for NRIs. CA Atul Mangal & Co. specializes in providing comprehensive NRI property sale services.

    Why Choose Us for Selling Property in India for NRI

    Acting as authorized representatives for NRIs during registration
    Assisting with property transfer into the NRI's name
    Helping with necessary paperwork, drafting, reviewing, and preserving documents

    We Also Offer Specialized Solutions to Specific Situations Like:

    Sale of property by one NRI to another
    Sale of inherited property
    Sale of property received as a gift
    Sale of agricultural land or a farm house

    Computation of the Tax Liability

    Capital gains from property sales by NRIs are taxable in India. The tax rate depends on the holding period:

    If held for more than 2 years:

    Long Term Capital Gain, taxed at 20%

    If held for 2 years or less:

    Short Term Capital Gain, taxed at the slab rate based on the NRI's total income

    Lower/ NIL TDS for NRI Selling Property In India

    TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) provisions for NRI, OCI, and Foreign Residents under Section 195 of the Income Tax Act:

    Long-term capital assets:

    20% TDS rate

    Short-term capital assets:

    30% TDS rate

    Actual tax liability is often lower than the proposed TDS amount. To avoid fund blockage, a "lower deduction TDS certificate" (or TDS exemption certificate u/s 197 of the Act) can be obtained by filing Form No. 13 online.

    Claiming a Refund of the TDS Deducted

    If a lower/NIL TDS certificate isn't obtained, an NRI can claim a refund by filing an income tax return in India for the excess TDS paid.

    Tax Exemptions Options

    NRIs have multiple exemption options to minimize tax liability, depending on their financial goals and requirements.

    Section 54 (Exemption for House Property)

    NRIs can claim an exemption on Long-Term Capital Gain from the sale of a house property in India. The capital gains must be invested in one of two ways:

    Purchasing another residential house:

    1 year before or 2 years after the sale

    Constructing a new residential house:

    Within 3 years after the sale

    The amount of capital gain invested will be exempted.

    Section 54 EC (Exemption for Bonds)

    This option allows saving taxes by investing capital gains into specific bonds within 6 months of the property sale. Eligible bonds are issued by:

    National Highway Authority of India (NHAI)

    Rural Electrification Corporation of India (REC)

    Power Finance Corporation Ltd. (PFC)

    These bonds are redeemable after 5 years and must not be sold before this period. The invested capital gains are exempt from tax.

    Section 54 F (Exemption for Other Capital Assets)

    This exemption applies to Long Term capital gain from the sale of any capital asset other than a residential house property.

    The NRI must purchase a house property (1 year before transfer, 2 years after transfer, or construct one within 3 years after transfer).

    The purchased property must be in India and not sold within 3 years of purchase or construction.

    The entire sale receipt must be invested for full exemption; otherwise, the exemption is proportionate.

These service providers are subject to specific disclosures and compliances to ensure transparency, protect the interests of their clients, and adhere to regulatory requirements.

    FATCA/CRS

    The US government introduced FATCA or Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act in 2009. The primary goal of this act is to prevent US persons from parking their wealth outside the US to avoid taxation. The US government has signed agreements with many countries, which makes it mandatory for the other countries to share details of such investments by US nationals.

    The Indian government agreed to implement the FATCA in 2015 by way of inter-government agreement between India and USA.

    Any NRI living in USA and investing in Indian assets will have to adhere to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) laws. These legislations require financial institutions to declare details of accounts held by US taxpayers. FATCA also requires a self-declaration from NRIs living in the USA while making investments in India.

    The Indian government made it mandatory for all NRI investors from the US to self-declare FATCA compliance through Form 61B, as per Rules 114F and 114H of the Income Tax Rules, 1962. There are alternate procedures available as well.

    We can help with meeting end to end requirements for FATCA and CRS disclosures.

    Worldwide Disclosure Facility (WDF)

    Worldwide Disclosure Facility (WDF) is being used to disclose a UK tax liability that relates wholly or part to an offshore issue.

    WDF does not offer such favourable terms but it is still in your benefit to disclose as soon as possible to avoid hefty penalties. It can be used by any person who needs to disclose a UK tax liability in relation to an offshore income or gain. The same applies for all tax years up to and including 2023/24.

    Estate Planning For NRI

    Comprehensive estate planning services for Non-Resident Indians

    Introduction

    A majority of Resident Indians/NRIs lack a professionally written will, with numbers closer to 82%+. There's a misconception that "Estate Planning" is only for wealthy people.

    Millions in India die without an estate plan, leading to families facing high costs and delays in court due to Succession Certificate/Probate proceedings. Challenges are greater for NRIs due to assets in multiple geographic locations (India and their country of residence).

    What exactly is Estate Planning?

    "Estate planning means having a plan to ensure that people or entities whom one wishes to pass on the estate receive them in the manner intended"

    Estate planning aims to eliminate uncertainties over administration and maximize the value of the estate by reducing taxes and other expenses.

    Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement Consultancy

    Expert DTAA consultancy for Non-Resident Indians

    Introduction to Double Taxation

    Income can be subject to double taxation when it is taxed both in the country where it's earned, often referred to as the 'source country,' and in the country where the person earning the income resides, known as the 'residence country.' For instance, consider a scenario where a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) resides in the USA but earns income in India. In such cases, the NRI is liable to pay taxes on their income both in the source country, India, and in their residence country, the USA.

    Definition of Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA)

    Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement Double Taxation means the same income getting taxed twice in hands of same assesse. Any country taxes income on the basis of two rules i.e. Residence Rule & Source Rule. Double Taxation is possible when assesse is Resident of one country & derives income from another country.

    Provisions for Elimination of Double Taxation by DTAA

    DTAA makes provision for elimination on double taxation in one of the following manner:

    Exclusive Taxing Rights

    Granting exclusive right to tax to one of the countries.

    Limited Tax Rates

    Granting taxing rights to both countries but making a provision for limiting the rate of taxation of each country.

    Tax Credit

    Granting right to resident of another country to obtain credit for taxes paid in the source country.
