Buying property from NRIs? Time to lose the TAN

By

 Buying property from an NRI? Worried about obtaining TAN? Not anymore.To relax the compliance burden, the Budget has proposed that resident individuals and HUFs need not have a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) if they are purchasing a property from a

non-resident Indian (NRI). The amendment will take effect from Oct 1, 2026. Under the proposed framework, resident individuals

or HUFs can report the tax deducted at source (TDS) by quoting PAN, as is done when the transactions are between two residents. Presently, if a person buys an immovable property from a resident seller, the person is not required to obtain TAN to deduct tax at source. However, where the seller of the immovable property is a non-resident, the buyer is required to obtain TAN to deduct tax at source. Ameet Patel, partner at

Manohar Chowdhry & Associates, said this used to be a detailed process. “At present, if a resident were to purchase an immovable property from

an NRI, there is no separate relaxation regarding compliance with TDS responsibilities. As a result, in such cases,the buyer needs to obtain a TAN, register on the portal,and then deduct TDS u/s. 195,

and pay to the govt. Under section 195, as with all other regular TDS sections, a quarterly e-TDS statement is required. A buyer would need professional help for all this.” Hinesh Doshi, CA, welcomed the move. “There used to be an unnecessary compliance burden due to this. While

the process to obtain TAN is simple, people used to obtain TAN for just one transaction. So, this is a good riddance.

The stringent six-month deadline has attracted the ire of several sections of the industry that fear it will lead to a disruption of wel...
