Property Purchases From NRIs Face Separate TDS Filing
People buying property from an NRI may need to follow updated TDS reporting rules.
TDS is tax-related information that must be reported during certain payments.
If several people are deductors, each person must submit a separate form.
These changes concern reporting and paperwork.
They do not add a new requirement to register the property.
The existing TDS rates are not changing.
Reporting rules for remittances to non-residents through Forms 145 and 146 are also unchanged.
Buyers should therefore pay attention to which forms they must file.
Joint buyers will each have to submit a separate TDS form when there is more than one deductor.
The changes affect TDS reporting and documentation for property transactions involving NRIs.
The changes do not create a new property registration requirement.
Existing TDS rates for remittances to non-residents remain unchanged.
Reporting requirements through Forms 145 and 146 also remain unchanged.
