Buying an immovable property in India involves important tax-compliance responsibilities for the buyer. The situation becomes more complicated when a property has multiple sellers and one or more of them are Non-Residents (NRIs).

A common example is a property jointly owned by three people:

Advertisement
  • Two sellers are resident Indians.
  • One seller lives in the United Kingdom and qualifies as a non-resident for Indian income-tax purposes.
  • The property is situated in India.
  • The total sale consideration exceeds ₹50 lakh.
  • The buyer has to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS).

A major source of confusion is whether the same TDS rate and procedure applies to all three sellers. It generally does not.

The buyer must identify the residential status of every seller and apply the appropriate TDS provisions separately.

This article explains the process, including who deducts TDS, where it is deposited, who issues the TDS certificate, when the certificate becomes available, and what changes when one of the sellers is an NRI.


1. Who Is Responsible for TDS When Property Is Purchased?

The buyer of the property is the deductor.

The seller is the deductee.

In simple terms:

Buyer → deducts TDS → deposits TDS with Income Tax Department → reports the deduction → obtains/downloads the applicable TDS certificate → provides it to seller

The seller's bank does not normally issue the property TDS certificate.

The property registrar/sub-registrar also does not issue the TDS certificate.

The buyer is responsible for complying with the applicable TDS provisions.


2. Example: Property Worth ₹1.10 Crore With Three Sellers

Consider the following example.

Total property sale consideration: ₹1,10,00,000

Number of sellers: 3

Suppose:

Seller A – Resident Indian
Seller B – Resident Indian
Seller C – Non-resident living in the United Kingdom

If ownership is exactly equal, the approximate consideration attributable to each seller would be:

₹1,10,00,000 ÷ 3 = ₹36,66,666.67

Approximately ₹36.67 lakh per seller.

However, this does not mean that the buyer should automatically deduct 1% from ₹36.67 lakh for every seller.

The NRI seller requires separate treatment.


3. Resident and NRI Sellers Must Be Treated Separately

This is one of the most important principles in a multi-seller property transaction.

For TDS purposes, determine the residential status of every seller.

Seller A – Resident

Resident property-purchase TDS provisions apply.

Seller B – Resident

Resident property-purchase TDS provisions apply.

Seller C – Non-Resident/NRI

The non-resident withholding provisions apply.

Therefore, the buyer should not simply calculate one TDS amount for the entire ₹1.10 crore transaction and divide it among the sellers.

The transaction should be examined seller-wise.


4. Does an NRI Bank Account Determine the Seller's Tax Status?

No.

An NRE or NRO account is a banking classification. It does not by itself determine the person's residential status under Indian income-tax law.

For example, a seller may:

  • Live in the United Kingdom
  • Have an Indian PAN
  • Maintain an NRO account
  • Maintain an NRE account
  • Own property in India

The seller's residential status for income-tax purposes still has to be determined according to the applicable Indian tax rules.

Therefore:

NRI/NRO/NRE bank account ≠ automatic determination of TDS provision

The buyer or tax professional should verify the seller's tax residential status.


5. TDS on Property Purchased From Resident Sellers

For a property transaction involving resident sellers, the property-specific TDS provisions apply when the statutory conditions are satisfied.

Historically, Section 194-IA required the buyer to deduct TDS at 1% where the relevant property consideration/stamp-duty-value threshold was met.

One important point in jointly owned properties is that the transaction should not automatically be treated as outside TDS merely because an individual co-owner receives less than ₹50 lakh.

For example:

Property value = ₹1.10 crore

Three equal sellers = approximately ₹36.67 lakh each.

It would be incorrect to conclude automatically:

“Every seller receives less than ₹50 lakh, therefore no TDS applies.”

The applicable statutory threshold rules must be considered for the property transaction as a whole.


6. Illustrative TDS for the Two Resident Sellers

Assume that:

  • Total consideration = ₹1.10 crore
  • All three sellers own equal shares
  • Each seller receives approximately ₹36,66,667
  • Resident property TDS rate applicable to the two resident sellers = 1%

Illustratively:

Resident Seller A

₹36,66,667 × 1% = approximately ₹36,667

Resident Seller B

₹36,66,667 × 1% = approximately ₹36,667

These figures are illustrations only. The actual computation should consider the sale consideration, applicable stamp-duty value, ownership structure, payment schedule and law applicable on the transaction date.


7. Do Not Deduct Only 1% From an NRI Seller Automatically

This is where buyers frequently make mistakes.

If Seller C is a non-resident for Indian income-tax purposes, the normal resident-property 1% mechanism should not simply be applied to that seller.

Payment to a non-resident seller is governed by the provisions applicable to payments chargeable to tax in the hands of a non-resident.

The buyer may therefore have to deal with a significantly different TDS calculation.

The amount can depend on matters such as:

  • Residential status
  • Date of acquisition
  • Original cost of property
  • Nature and amount of capital gain
  • Holding period
  • Applicable tax rate
  • Surcharge
  • Health and Education Cess
  • Applicable treaty provisions, where relevant
  • Lower/nil deduction certificate or appropriate tax determination, where available

Therefore, do not assume:

NRI's share × 1% = correct TDS

It may be incorrect.


8. Why Can NRI Property TDS Be Much Higher?

The buyer is responsible for withholding the tax required under the provisions applicable to payment to the non-resident.

Without an appropriate lower-deduction determination/certificate, withholding can be substantially more than the familiar 1% applicable in a normal resident-seller property transaction.

This can create a major cash-flow issue for an NRI seller.

For this reason, an NRI seller should ideally consult a Chartered Accountant/tax professional before the buyer makes the payment.


9. Lower TDS Certificate for an NRI Seller

Depending on the facts and applicable law, the NRI seller may explore an appropriate lower/nil deduction certificate or tax determination.

Consider a simplified example.

NRI's property share = ₹36.67 lakh

But suppose the taxable capital gain is substantially lower than ₹36.67 lakh.

Withholding based on the gross payment can result in significantly more tax being withheld than the seller's ultimate tax liability.

An appropriate lower-deduction mechanism may help align the withholding more closely with the expected tax liability, subject to approval and applicable law.

This should be arranged before payment, wherever required.


10. Who Deposits the TDS?

The buyer deposits the TDS with the Government of India/Income Tax Department.

The buyer should not give the deducted amount to the seller and ask the seller to deposit it.

Conceptually:

Property payment due to seller

Buyer calculates applicable TDS

Buyer deducts TDS

Buyer pays net amount to seller

Buyer deposits TDS with Income Tax Department

Buyer completes required TDS reporting

TDS credit is associated with seller's PAN

Applicable TDS certificate becomes available

Buyer provides certificate to seller


11. Does the Income Tax Department Send the Certificate Directly to the Seller?

Normally, the buyer/deductor is responsible for obtaining/downloading the applicable certificate after completing the required TDS compliance and giving it to the seller.

The Income Tax Department's systems process the TDS information, but this should not be confused with the government automatically emailing a finished certificate to every property seller.

The buyer should complete the process and provide the required certificate to the seller.


12. When Is the TDS Certificate Generated?

A common misunderstanding is:

“We deposited TDS today, so can we download the certificate immediately?”

Usually, not immediately.

TDS payment and TDS certificate generation are separate stages.

The normal sequence is:

TDS deducted → TDS deposited → applicable statement/return filed → statement processed/matched → certificate becomes available → buyer downloads certificate

Therefore, a payment challan is not necessarily the same thing as the final TDS certificate.


13. TDS Payment Challan vs TDS Certificate

These documents serve different purposes.

TDS Challan/Payment Receipt

This establishes that the deductor made a tax payment to the government.

TDS Certificate

This establishes the tax deducted in relation to the deductee/seller and reported under the applicable TDS mechanism.

A seller should therefore not rely solely on a screenshot or payment receipt if an applicable formal TDS certificate is required.


14. TDS Certificate for a Resident Property Seller

Historically, property TDS under Section 194-IA was commonly associated with:

  • Form 26QB – challan-cum-statement
  • Form 16B – TDS certificate

However, taxpayers should be careful when using old online guides for transactions occurring from 1 April 2026 onward.

The tax-compliance framework/forms have changed for the new tax regime applicable from FY/Tax Year 2026-27, including a common challan-cum-TDS statement mechanism such as Form 141 for applicable transactions.

Therefore, for a transaction taking place in 2026-27, the buyer should follow the form and certificate procedure applicable on the actual date of payment/credit, rather than blindly following an older Form 26QB tutorial.


15. What Is Form 141?

For applicable transactions/events from 1 April 2026, the Income Tax Department introduced a common challan-cum-TDS statement framework under the new forms.

Form 141 is relevant to applicable challan-cum-TDS statement transactions that were previously handled through separate mechanisms/forms.

Property buyers undertaking transactions in FY 2026-27 should therefore verify the current Income Tax portal procedure.

This is especially important because many articles and videos available online were created before April 2026 and may continue to refer only to Form 26QB.


16. TDS Certificate for the UK/NRI Seller

The NRI seller is treated differently.

Where the buyer is withholding tax on payment to a non-resident under the applicable non-resident TDS provisions, the buyer generally needs regular TDS compliance appropriate to the transaction.

This can involve:

  • Buyer's TAN
  • Seller's PAN
  • Appropriate TDS payment
  • TDS reporting/return
  • Non-resident payment reporting
  • Applicable TDS certificate

Under the traditional Section 195 framework, the corresponding TDS certificate is generally Form 16A.

Therefore, do not assume that the NRI seller simply receives the same property-TDS certificate as the resident sellers.


17. Does the Buyer Need a TAN for an NRI Property Seller?

This is another major distinction.

For the simplified resident-property TDS mechanism, an individual property buyer historically did not need to obtain a TAN merely for the Section 194-IA transaction.

For payments to a non-resident under the regular TDS framework, TAN requirements can arise.

Therefore, if one of the three sellers is an NRI, the buyer should not assume that the simplified resident-property process is sufficient for the entire transaction.

The buyer should have the TAN and non-resident withholding requirements checked before payment.


18. Why the Seller's PAN Is Extremely Important

Every seller should provide the correct PAN.

The buyer should carefully verify:

  • Seller's full legal name
  • PAN
  • Residential status
  • Ownership percentage
  • Amount payable
  • Address
  • Property details

Incorrect PAN reporting can prevent the TDS credit from appearing correctly in the seller's tax records and may cause additional tax-compliance problems.


19. Where Can the Seller Verify the TDS Credit?

After the buyer deposits and correctly reports TDS, the seller should verify that the corresponding tax credit appears in the appropriate Indian income-tax records, such as the seller's tax-credit information/AIS/Form 26AS as applicable.

The seller should not rely only on the buyer saying:

“TDS has been paid.”

The seller should eventually verify that the deduction has been properly reported against the seller's PAN.


20. Can an NRI Claim Refund of Excess TDS?

Yes, subject to applicable tax law.

TDS is tax deducted at source. It is not necessarily the seller's final tax liability.

For example, suppose an NRI seller ultimately has an Indian income-tax liability of ₹2 lakh, but ₹4 lakh has been properly deducted and credited as TDS.

Subject to the return assessment and applicable rules, the seller may claim the excess tax credit/refund while filing the Indian income-tax return.

Conceptually:

TDS credit = ₹4,00,000
Final tax liability = ₹2,00,000

Potential excess = ₹2,00,000

The actual refund depends on the return, tax computation, available credits and Income Tax Department processing.


21. Does the NRI Seller Need an Indian Income-Tax Return?

An NRI selling immovable property in India should obtain professional advice regarding the Indian income-tax return filing requirement.

The sale can generate taxable capital gains in India.

Filing an Indian return may also be necessary or useful for:

  • Reporting the property sale
  • Computing capital gains
  • Claiming eligible deductions/exemptions
  • Claiming TDS credit
  • Claiming excess TDS refund
  • Reconciling the transaction with AIS/Form 26AS and other tax records

22. NRO or NRE Account Does Not Replace TDS Compliance

Suppose the NRI seller asks the buyer:

“You are transferring the money to my NRO account, so do you still need to deduct TDS?”

The banking destination does not normally eliminate the buyer's withholding responsibility.

The buyer should determine the tax treatment based on:

  • Seller's residential status
  • Nature of payment
  • Property transaction
  • Applicable tax provisions

not merely on the type of bank account receiving the payment.


23. What Happens If the NRI Seller Wants to Take the Money to the UK?

This creates another compliance layer.

Receiving property-sale proceeds in India and repatriating/remitting those funds outside India are related but separate issues.

Depending on the transaction, banking rules and tax position, documents such as the following may become relevant:

  • PAN
  • Sale deed
  • Purchase/acquisition documents
  • TDS certificate
  • Proof of taxes paid
  • Income-tax return
  • Form 15CA
  • Form 15CB, where applicable
  • CA certificate/documentation
  • Bank remittance forms
  • FEMA-related documentation

The seller's authorised dealer bank should provide the exact remittance-document requirements.


24. Is Form 15CB the NRI Seller's TDS Certificate?

No.

This is a common misunderstanding.

Form 15CB and Form 16A serve different purposes.

Form 15CB is generally a Chartered Accountant's certificate used in specified foreign-remittance situations to examine the tax implications of a payment/remittance.

Form 16A is a TDS certificate under the applicable regular TDS framework.

Therefore:

Form 16A → TDS certificate

Form 15CB → CA certification associated with specified non-resident remittance compliance

They should not be treated as interchangeable documents.


25. Practical Example for a ₹1.10 Crore Property

Suppose:

Property sale price = ₹1,10,00,000

Ownership:

Resident Seller A = 33.33%
Resident Seller B = 33.33%
UK NRI Seller C = 33.33%

Approximate consideration:

Seller A = ₹36,66,667
Seller B = ₹36,66,667
Seller C = ₹36,66,666

Seller A

Residential status: Resident

Resident property-TDS mechanism applies, subject to the applicable law.

Illustrative 1% TDS:

Approximately ₹36,667

Seller B

Residential status: Resident

Illustrative 1% TDS:

Approximately ₹36,667

Seller C

Residential status: Non-resident

Do not automatically calculate 1%.

The buyer should obtain a professional computation of the appropriate withholding under the provisions applicable to non-residents.


26. What If Ownership Is Not Equal?

Never automatically divide the sale price by the number of sellers.

Suppose ownership is:

Seller A = 50%
Seller B = 25%
Seller C = 25%

Then the consideration should normally be allocated according to the actual legal ownership/entitlement and transaction documents.

For ₹1.10 crore:

Seller A = ₹55 lakh
Seller B = ₹27.50 lakh
Seller C = ₹27.50 lakh

The TDS reporting should reflect the actual transaction rather than an artificial one-third split.

Check the title documents and sale deed.


27. What If the Buyer Pays in Installments?

TDS timing must be considered at the applicable point of payment or credit under the relevant provision.

For example:

Booking payment

First installment

Second installment

Registration payment

Final settlement

Do not automatically wait until registration to think about TDS if payments have already been made earlier.

The buyer's CA should review the complete payment schedule.


28. Recommended Buyer Checklist

Before releasing the property consideration, the buyer should collect and verify:

  1. PAN of all sellers
  2. Residential status of every seller
  3. Ownership percentage
  4. Property title documents
  5. Sale agreement
  6. Sale consideration
  7. Stamp-duty value
  8. Payment schedule
  9. NRI seller's Indian tax details
  10. Whether lower/nil deduction documentation is available
  11. Buyer's TAN requirement for NRI payment
  12. Correct TDS rate
  13. Correct TDS payment mechanism
  14. Correct TDS reporting
  15. Certificate-generation procedure

For a mixed resident/NRI sale, professional tax review before payment is strongly advisable.


29. Recommended NRI Seller Checklist

The NRI seller should generally keep:

  • PAN
  • Passport
  • Residential-status evidence
  • Property purchase documents
  • Original sale/purchase deed
  • Improvement-cost documents
  • Current sale deed/agreement
  • Ownership documents
  • TDS certificates
  • Tax-payment records
  • Bank statements
  • Capital-gains computation
  • Lower-deduction documentation, if obtained
  • Indian income-tax return records
  • Remittance documentation, where applicable

These records can become important for both Indian taxation and overseas remittance.


30. Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake 1: Deducting 1% from every seller

Incorrect where one seller is a non-resident.

Mistake 2: Assuming no TDS because each seller receives below ₹50 lakh

The statutory threshold rules for jointly owned property must be examined properly.

Mistake 3: Treating an NRO account as proof of the applicable TDS rate

Bank-account type does not determine the property TDS rate.

Mistake 4: Depositing NRI TDS using the resident-seller mechanism

Non-resident withholding has separate compliance requirements.

Mistake 5: Assuming challan = TDS certificate

Payment receipt and TDS certificate are different.

Mistake 6: Waiting until registration

TDS obligations can be linked to payment/credit timing, not merely registration.

Mistake 7: Using an old 26QB tutorial for a 2026-27 transaction

Forms/procedures changed from 1 April 2026. Always check the current Income Tax Department procedure.

Mistake 8: Incorrect PAN

This can create serious problems with tax-credit matching.


31. Complete Workflow for Mixed Resident and NRI Sellers

A practical workflow is:

Step 1: Determine the residential status of all sellers.

Step 2: Determine each seller's actual ownership percentage.

Step 3: Allocate the property consideration seller-wise.

Step 4: Calculate resident-seller TDS separately.

Step 5: Calculate NRI-seller withholding separately.

Step 6: Check whether the NRI seller has an applicable lower/nil deduction certificate/order.

Step 7: Check the buyer's TAN requirement.

Step 8: Deduct TDS at the appropriate payment/credit stage.

Step 9: Pay the net consideration to each seller.

Step 10: Deposit the TDS with the Income Tax Department.

Step 11: File the applicable challan-cum-statement/TDS statement.

Step 12: Wait for processing/matching.

Step 13: Download the applicable TDS certificate.

Step 14: Provide the certificate to the respective seller.

Step 15: Sellers verify the tax credit against their PAN.

Step 16: NRI seller completes Indian capital-gains/return compliance and overseas-remittance documentation, where applicable.


32. Important Timeline Concept

Suppose TDS is deducted in August 2026.

Do not expect the final TDS certificate to necessarily be available the same day.

Think of the process as:

Deduction Date

TDS Deposit

Applicable TDS Statement/Return

Government System Processing

TDS Credit Matching With PAN

Certificate Availability

Certificate Downloaded by Buyer/Deductor

Certificate Given to Seller

The precise due dates and certificate-generation timelines depend on the provision, type of seller, applicable form and transaction date.


33. Why a CA Should Handle the NRI Portion

A straightforward resident property purchase is relatively standardized.

An NRI property sale can involve:

  • Non-resident withholding
  • Capital gains
  • Lower deduction
  • TAN
  • TDS return
  • Form 16A
  • DTAA considerations
  • NRO/NRE banking
  • Repatriation
  • Form 15CA/15CB
  • FEMA documentation

An error can create liability for the buyer as deductor.

Therefore, for a high-value property transaction involving an NRI seller, the buyer should have the NRI TDS calculation and compliance checked by a Chartered Accountant/tax professional before releasing payment.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Who deducts TDS when buying property?

The buyer is responsible for deducting the applicable TDS from the amount payable to the seller.

2. Who deposits property TDS with the Income Tax Department?

The buyer/deductor deposits it.

3. Who gives the TDS certificate to the seller?

The buyer/deductor is responsible for obtaining/downloading the applicable TDS certificate after completing the required compliance and providing it to the seller.

4. Does the bank issue the property TDS certificate?

No. Merely receiving the property payment through a bank does not make the bank responsible for issuing the buyer's property TDS certificate.

5. Can the certificate be downloaded immediately after depositing TDS?

Usually not. The applicable statement/return must be filed and processed before the certificate becomes available.

6. Is the TDS challan itself the TDS certificate?

No. The payment challan/receipt and TDS certificate serve different purposes.

7. Is TDS always 1% when a property costs more than ₹50 lakh?

No. The familiar 1% property-TDS provision relates to qualifying purchases from resident sellers. A non-resident seller requires different tax treatment.

8. Does 1% apply to an NRI property seller?

Do not automatically apply 1%. Non-resident withholding provisions must be examined separately.

9. If there are three sellers, is TDS calculated separately?

Yes. Seller-wise residential status, ownership and consideration should be considered.

10. What if one seller lives in the UK?

First determine whether that seller qualifies as a non-resident under Indian income-tax law. If so, the non-resident TDS provisions apply to that seller.

11. Does having an NRO account prove the seller is an NRI for TDS?

The bank-account classification alone is not the legal test of residential status for income-tax purposes.

12. Can an NRI receive property-sale proceeds in an Indian bank account?

Yes, subject to applicable banking, FEMA and tax requirements. The appropriate account and repatriation procedure should be confirmed with the authorised dealer bank.

13. Does crediting the money to an NRO account eliminate TDS?

No. The buyer's TDS obligation is determined under tax law, not merely by the destination bank account.

14. What TDS certificate does an NRI seller receive?

Under the traditional regular non-resident TDS framework, the certificate is generally Form 16A after the relevant TDS reporting has been completed.

15. Does the buyer require TAN for payment to an NRI seller?

TAN requirements generally arise under the regular non-resident TDS mechanism. This should be checked before payment.

16. Does an ordinary property buyer need TAN for resident property TDS?

The simplified resident-property mechanism historically did not require an individual buyer to obtain TAN solely for that transaction. Current forms and rules applicable to the transaction date should be checked.

17. Can an NRI get a lower TDS certificate?

An appropriate lower/nil deduction mechanism may be available subject to statutory conditions and Income Tax Department approval.

18. Why would an NRI want lower TDS?

Because withholding on the payment can exceed the seller's ultimate tax liability. An approved lower-deduction mechanism may reduce excessive withholding.

19. Can excess TDS be refunded?

Subject to the final tax computation and applicable law, excess TDS credit may be claimed through the seller's Indian income-tax return.

20. Does an NRI need PAN to sell property?

PAN is extremely important for property-sale tax compliance, TDS credit and income-tax reporting.

21. Can the NRI seller take the property-sale money to the UK?

Potentially yes, subject to applicable tax, FEMA, banking and repatriation requirements.

22. Is Form 15CB a TDS certificate?

No. Form 15CB is a CA certificate used in specified foreign-remittance situations. It is not the same as the TDS certificate.

23. What is Form 15CA?

It is a tax-related information/declaration form used for specified payments/remittances to non-residents, subject to applicable rules.

24. What if all three sellers receive less than ₹50 lakh individually?

Do not automatically conclude that resident-property TDS is inapplicable. The aggregate consideration/stamp-duty-value and current statutory threshold provisions must be examined.

25. Should the buyer wait until registration to deduct TDS?

Not necessarily. The applicable TDS provision can trigger based on payment or credit. Installments and advance payments should therefore be reviewed.

26. Where should the seller check whether TDS was properly credited?

The seller should verify the relevant tax-credit information associated with their PAN, including Form 26AS/AIS or other applicable Income Tax portal records.

27. What happens if the buyer deducts TDS but does not deposit it?

This can create serious tax consequences for the buyer/deductor, including interest, penalties and other proceedings under applicable law.

28. Can the buyer deduct NRI TDS after making the entire payment?

This can create compliance problems. TDS should be considered before or at the applicable payment/credit stage.

29. Is Form 26QB still the only property TDS form in 2026?

No. Taxpayers dealing with transactions from 1 April 2026 onward should check the new applicable forms and procedures, including the Form 141 framework, instead of relying solely on older Form 26QB instructions.

30. Should a CA be consulted when one property seller is an NRI?

Yes. For a substantial property transaction involving mixed resident and non-resident sellers, professional tax advice before payment is strongly recommended.


Conclusion

Property TDS becomes considerably more complex when a property has multiple sellers and one of them is an NRI.

For example, in a ₹1.10 crore property transaction involving two resident Indian sellers and one UK-based non-resident seller, the buyer should not treat all three sellers identically.

The resident sellers fall under the applicable resident property-TDS framework, while the NRI seller's payment must be examined under the non-resident withholding provisions.

Most importantly:

The buyer is responsible for deducting TDS.

The buyer deposits the deducted amount with the Income Tax Department.

The buyer completes the applicable TDS reporting.

After processing, the buyer obtains/downloads the appropriate TDS certificate and provides it to the seller.

The seller's NRO/NRE account does not issue the TDS certificate, and Form 15CB should not be confused with a TDS certificate.

For transactions occurring during FY/Tax Year 2026-27, buyers should also ensure that they follow the forms and procedures applicable from 1 April 2026 rather than relying exclusively on older Form 26QB-based instructions.
