In India, property sales are generally subject to tax deductions. If the property is a short-term asset, the NRI must deduct taxes according to income slab applicable to them. LTCG tax of 20% applies if the property is a long-term asset. Additionally, it is vital that NRIs ensure taxes are deducted only on the gains made and not on the money generated by the sale. It is possible to determine what gains should be deducted by the purchaser by consulting a Jurisdictional Assessing Officer.
