Hi
I am a NRI planning to sell a flat. When I did the calculation of indexation based on purchase and sale prices and years, there seems to be no tax liability.
But I was given to understand that there may be TDS applicable wherein the buyer has to withhold tax if the sale price is higher than 50 lakhs. In my case the sale price is lower than 50 lakhs so I am assuming there is no TDS. Please confirm.
Also, I need to obtain 15CB in order for me to repatriate the sale proceeds. Currently I hold a SB account but I need to change it to NRO (with linked NRE), but I am not sure if I should convert the account before the sale or after the sale.
Finally, if there is no tax incidence (based on indexation), do I need to obtain a No tax liability certificate from the assessing officer?
