Good to know
FEMA & NRI Matters — FAQs
- I am an NRI selling property in India — how much TDS applies?
- TDS on the sale of property by an NRI is deducted at a higher rate than for residents, but it is on the gain, not the full value, and can be reduced with a lower-deduction certificate. We help you apply for one and claim any excess as a refund.
- Can I repatriate money from India as an NRI?
- Yes, within the limits and conditions set by RBI and subject to taxes being paid. We handle the documentation (including the required CA certificates) so repatriation is smooth and compliant.
- How does a DTAA help me?
- A Double Tax Avoidance Agreement ensures the same income is not fully taxed in two countries. We check the relevant treaty and structure your affairs to claim the relief you are entitled to.
