Sell & Repatriate — Keep More, Stress Less
Selling Indian property as an NRI means punishing TDS, capital-gains maths and FEMA repatriation rules. We handle the entire chain — the part no broker touches and most NRIs dread.
The TDS problem, solved
On an NRI sale, the buyer must deduct TDS on the FULL sale value (not just your profit) — often ~13–15% locked up. We fix this before you sell.
Lower-Deduction Certificate
We file Form 13 (Sec 197) with the tax officer to bring TDS down to your actual gain — or NIL if you reinvest — so your cash isn't trapped.
Capital gains & 15CA/CB
We compute your capital gains and get the CA-certified Form 15CB + file Form 15CA — the mandatory paperwork for moving money abroad.
Repatriation handled
We route proceeds through your NRO account and manage repatriation within the USD 1M/year FEMA limit — with all documentation in order.
Sale via safe PoA
Valuation, buyer sourcing, negotiation, registration and possession handover — managed remotely through a registered, scope-limited Power-of-Attorney.
Selling & Repatriation FAQs
Why is so much of my sale money withheld as TDS?
For an NRI seller, the buyer is required (Section 195) to deduct TDS on the entire sale consideration — not just the gain — at roughly 13–15% for long-term holdings (incl. surcharge & cess). If your actual taxable gain is small, this traps far more cash than you owe, until you reclaim it.
How do you reduce the TDS?
We file a Lower-Deduction Certificate (Form 13 under Section 197) with your Assessing Officer before the sale, with a capital-gains computation. It brings TDS down to your real liability — and to NIL if you qualify for reinvestment exemptions. This is the single biggest money-saver and is hard to do remotely yourself.
How do I get the money out of India?
Sale proceeds go to your NRO account; you can repatriate up to USD 1 million per financial year under FEMA. We prepare the CA-certified Form 15CB and file Form 15CA, and ensure the documentation (sale deed, tax-paid proof, returns) is complete so your bank releases the funds.
Can you sell it for me while I'm abroad?
Yes — valuation, marketing, negotiation, registration and handover are managed through a registered, scope-limited special Power-of-Attorney, with empanelled lawyers and chartered accountants, so you needn't fly down.
