TDS and Repatriation: What NRIs Should Know
When an NRI sells property in India, the buyer must deduct tax at source (TDS) under Section 195 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, usually at a higher rate than for residents unless the seller obtains a lower deduction certificate. After the sale, moving the proceeds abroad is governed by the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and Reserve Bank of India rules, within prescribed annual limits.
PropResolve handles the legal and documentation side of your sale, the Power of Attorney and the registration, and coordinates with the right specialists for the tax filing and lower deduction certificate, so both the sale and the transfer of funds stay compliant.

Handling Indian property remotely shouldn’t mean losing sleep.
Most NRIs face the same wall: the system assumes you’re standing in the office. We were built for the opposite.
The usual experience
- ✕ Booking flights home just to sign papers or attend a hearing
- ✕ A local agent who goes silent after taking an advance
- ✕ Documents bounced for re-attestation, again and again
- ✕ No idea who’s handling your matter, or what stage it’s at
- ✕ Open-ended bills that grow with every appearance
With PropResolve
- ✓ Sign and approve digitally — your presence is rarely needed
- ✓ One named case manager who answers across time zones
- ✓ We collect, attest and file every document on the ground
- ✓ A live dashboard showing every milestone in real time
Securing an inheritance, 7,000 miles away.
The challenge
Mr. R., a software professional in New Jersey, lost his father in Pune. The bank and housing society wouldn’t release the apartment or deposits without a Legal Heir Certificate — and a local agent had already gone silent after taking an advance. He couldn’t take three weeks off to navigate the revenue office himself.
What we did
We assigned a succession specialist and a case manager, compiled and attested every document remotely, filed the application, and liaised with the revenue office — with Mr. R. approving each step from his phone.
The outcome
✓ Certificate obtained in six weeks. The apartment was mutated to his name and the deposits released — without a single trip to India.
“I’d almost given up on my father’s flat after the agent vanished with my money. PropResolve gave me one case manager and updates I could actually see. It was finally handled — properly.”— PropResolve client, New Jersey
A local agent vs. PropResolve.
Handing the matter to one local contact is the usual route. Here’s how it compares to a model built specifically for NRIs.
| What matters | A local agent / lawyer | PropResolve |
|---|---|---|
| Expertise | ✕ A generalist handling whatever comes | ✓ Specialist matched to your exact matter |
| Staying informed | ✕ You chase; updates depend on them | ✓ A case manager who answers across time zones |
| Visibility | ✕ Phone calls and guesswork | ✓ A live dashboard, every milestone logged |
| Accountability | ✕ Little recourse if they go silent | ✓ Institutional backing and clear escalation |
| Built for NRIs | ✕ Usually needs you physically present | ✓ Fully remote — signing, updates, delivery |
