NRI tax and money-transfer calculator

See how much tax the buyer must hold back when you sell, how much a lower deduction certificate can free up, and how much you can send abroad.

Rates: 12.5% on long-term gains, up to 30% on short-term gains, plus surcharge and 4% cess. An estimate for planning; your exact tax depends on your full income.

Selling as an NRI: the steps

  1. Valuation and tax workingWe estimate the price and your capital gains tax.
  2. Lower deduction certificateWe apply early so the buyer deducts tax only on your gain.
  3. Buyer and agreementWe find and screen the buyer and draft the agreement.
  4. Power of attorneySigned at the Indian consulate, then stamped here, if you cannot travel.
  5. Registration and moneyPayment to your NRO account; we prepare the papers to send it abroad.

Good to know

  • The buyer must deduct a higher TDS when the seller is an NRI, and needs a TAN to do it.
  • Without a lower deduction certificate, much of the sale money can stay blocked until your return is processed.
  • Money can be sent abroad from your NRO account within the RBI's yearly limit, after a CA certificate and the bank's forms.
