Sell Property FAQs

Question 1

How can an NRI sell property in India without visiting?

Accepted Answer

An NRI can sell property in India by granting a Power of Attorney (POA) to a trusted representative in India. India For NRI's AI-assisted service handles the entire sale remotely — title verification, buyer sourcing, sale deed execution, TDS compliance and repatriation of funds.

Question 2

What is the TDS rate on NRI property sale in India?

Accepted Answer

TDS on NRI property sales is 20% on long-term capital gains (property held >2 years) and 30% on short-term capital gains. NRIs can apply for a lower TDS certificate (Form 13) to reduce this deduction. India For NRI manages the entire TDS compliance process.

Can NRIs repatriate the sale proceeds of property to their country?
