Capital Gain Services for NRIs – N.D. Savla & Associates

Selling property, shares, or other investments in India often creates capital gains tax liability for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs). These transactions require careful planning to ensure compliance with the Income Tax Act, FEMA regulations, and Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA). At N.D. Savla & Associates, we provide end-to-end support for NRI capital gains tax in India, including computation, exemption planning, and repatriation of sale proceeds.

Overview

Whenever an NRI sells a residential property, commercial property, land, shares, or mutual funds in India, the profit earned is treated as capital gains. Depending on the holding period, the gain is classified as short-term capital gain (STCG) or long-term capital gain (LTCG). Each has specific tax rates, TDS implications, and exemption opportunities.

Features

  • Accurate computation of short-term and long-term capital gains

  • Advisory on capital gains exemption under Sections 54, 54EC, and 54F

  • Assistance with TDS on NRI property sales and refund claims

  • Guidance on reinvestment in property or bonds for tax savings

  • Application of DTAA relief to avoid double taxation

  • Support with repatriation of net sale proceeds abroad

Documents Required

  • Passport & PAN card

  • Sale deed or transaction contract

Procedure

  • Transaction Review – Identify asset type and holding period.

  • Classification – Determine whether the gain is STCG or LTCG.

  • Computation – Calculate indexed cost and tax liability as per applicable rates.

  • Exemption Planning – Suggest reinvestment in eligible property or bonds (54, 54EC, 54F).
