- TDS on property sale
How much TDS will the buyer deduct on your property sale?
If the seller is resident and the price is ₹50 lakh or more, the buyer deducts 1% of the price. If the seller is an NRI, TDS is much higher and is usually worked out on the whole price, unless the seller gets a lower-deduction certificate from the tax department first. Plan this before you sell.
Draft rules: not yet verified by a CA. Do not rely on this figure.
