About NRI TDS Refund
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
NRIs often suffer more TDS than their final tax — buyers deduct on the full property sale price, banks deduct 30% on NRO interest, tenants deduct 30% on rent, and fund houses deduct on redemptions. The excess is recovered by filing an ITR (usually ITR-2) showing the actual tax, after which the refund is paid with interest to a pre-validated Indian bank account, typically your NRO account.
The refund depends on a clean return: correct residential status, TDS credits matching Form 26AS, eligible deductions and exemptions such as Section 54, and DTAA relief where applicable.
For future transactions, a lower or nil deduction certificate can cut TDS at source so less money is locked up. We file, track and follow up until the refund lands.
