Taxation of Capital Gains

Capital Gains on Sale of Assets in India

Capital gains arising from the sale of property, shares, mutual funds, and other assets by NRIs are fully taxable in India. The tax treatment depends on the nature of the asset and the duration it was held.

TDS Deduction @ 20% to 30%

Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) applies at rates between 20% and 30%, based on whether the capital gains are short-term or long-term and the asset type. This deduction is made upfront by the buyer or intermediary.

Indexed Cost of Acquisition

For long-term capital assets, an indexed cost of acquisition is allowed. This adjusts the original purchase price for inflation, reducing the taxable capital gains and thereby lowering the tax liability.

Lower/NIL TDS Certificate

NRIs can apply for a lower or NIL TDS certificate to reduce the amount of tax deducted at source. This improves cash flow and avoids unnecessary upfront tax deduction on capital gains.

DTAA Benefits

Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) between India and other countries help NRIs avoid being taxed twice on the same income. We assist in claiming these benefits as per applicable treaties.
