Property Sale Par Tax Rules for NRIs (2026)

Long Term Capital Gain (LTCG) par 12.5% tax lagta hai (indexation benefit nahi milta post July 2024). Short Term par aapki slab rate ke hisaab se tax lagta hai।

LTCG Tax Calculation – Simple Table

Particulars	Rate	Remarks
Long Term Capital Gain	12.5%	No indexation benefit
TDS on Sale (for NRIs)	20%	Buyer TDS kat-ta hai
Section 54 Exemption	Full exemption possible	New house kharidne par
Section 54EC (Bonds)	Up to ₹50 Lakh	54EC bonds mein invest karein

Real Life Example

Ek NRI ne ₹1.5 Crore mein property kharidi thi. Ab ₹3 Crore mein bech rahe hain। Capital Gain = ₹1.5 Crore.

12.5% LTCG tax = ₹18.75 Lakh. Lekin agar woh Section 54F use karke nayi property kharidte hain toh poora tax exempt ho sakta hai।

Step-by-Step Process After Property Sale

1. Buyer 20% TDS kat-ta hai aur Form 16A issue karta hai
2. ITR mein capital gain declare karein
3. DTAA benefit claim karne ke liye TRC + Form 10F attach karein
4. Exemption (54/54F/54EC) claim karein
5. Refund claim karein agar zyada TDS kata ho

Pro Tip: Sale ke saal ITR file karna zaroori hai warna penalty lag sakti hai।

Common Mistakes NRIs Karte Hain

• TDS ko ignore kar dena
• DTAA benefit claim na karna
• Exemption ke time limit miss karna
• Capital gain ko sahi se calculate na karna

Conclusion

NRI property sale par tax management sahi planning se bahut kam kiya ja sakta hai। 20% TDS toh kat-ta hai, lekin sahi exemptions aur DTAA claim karke aap apna actual tax liability bahut reduce kar sakte hain।

Property bechne se pehle tax planning zaroor karein taaki baad mein refund ke chakkar na paden।
