12.5%
of your property sale value
withheld as TDS — by default,
for every NRI seller in India

Most NRIs don't know they can legally reduce this.

For NRI property sellers, buyers are required to withhold TDS at 12.5% on the full sale value — not just the profit. On a ₹1 crore sale, that's ₹12.5 lakhs held back. But with a Form 13 application filed before the sale, this can be significantly reduced — and in many cases, brought down to near-zero.

Filing Form 13 early is the single most impactful thing an NRI seller can do. Most people find out too late.

What NRIs say about working with me

★  Read all Google reviews →

The TDS process was something I had no idea how to navigate from the US. Akshar walked me through every step and made sure we filed Form 13 well before the sale closed. Saved us a significant amount.

Rachna M Verma
Boston, United States

My Indian colleague suggested them to me. I'm glad I took the leap. Super responsive on WhatsApp. I don't think I could have sold my house without their help.

Anutosh Madhukar
Fresno, California

I was managing a property sale from the US with no idea where to even start. Akshar handled the POA, TDS filing, bank coordination, and repatriation without me having to fly to India once. Money was in my US account with zero hassle and no unnecessary wait time.

Sidharth Rao
Fremont, California

Easy to communicate with and gets the job done without any unnecessary hassle. I'd highly recommend them!

Vijetha Srinivasan
Surrey, England

I had been sitting on this property for years not knowing where to start. Akshar made the entire process feel manageable. Everything was handled professionally and on time.

Why NRIs choose to work with me

Dedicated, experienced, and familiar with the complexity of cross-border property transactions — from the first call to the final remittance.

Focused entirely on NRIs

Whatever your situation — we've seen it. NRI cases are all we handle, which means the moment you reach out, you're talking to someone who already knows the landscape and exactly what needs to happen next.

One point of contact — from start to finish

You speak directly with the person handling your case. Not a chatbot, not a junior, not a rotating team. The same person who takes your first call is the one filing your documents, chasing the bank, and confirming your repatriation. You always know who to reach and exactly where things stand.

We handle everyone — so you don't have to

Selling property in India from abroad means coordinating your buyer, their lawyer, your bank, a CA, and the Income Tax Department — all from a different time zone. We take that off your plate entirely. No figuring out who does what. No chasing multiple people for updates. One call, everything moves.

No surprises, no radio silence

One of the most common complaints NRIs have with service providers in India: you hand over your documents and then hear nothing for weeks. We give you clear updates at every stage — Form 13 status, TDS, bank confirmation, 15CA/CB, repatriation — in plain language, at a time that works for your time zone.

Quick answers to common questions

Timelines, documents, coordination, and what happens at each step.

You share the basics — property details, buyer stage, and your country of residence. I review the situation, tell you what applies, and we follow a clear step-by-step plan until TDS, compliance, and repatriation are complete.
We quickly map your situation: residential status, likely TDS impact, capital gains direction, and what the bank and buyer will need. You'll leave with clarity on next steps and what to prepare.
Yes — the first consultation is completely free. It exists so I can understand your situation and you can decide if working together makes sense. No commitment, no pressure.
Yes — I coordinate with the bank for documentation, FEMA compliance requirements, forex paperwork, and the remittance flow so it's processed correctly.
You share documents digitally, and I'll tell you exactly what needs scanning vs originals. For POA or signing from abroad, I guide you through the correct format and execution steps.
In many cases, you don't need to travel. POA with proper execution can work, depending on state rules, buyer preferences, and your documentation. I advise the safest route.
Yes — in fact, that's the best time. We can estimate your tax impact early and plan Form 13 in advance, so you don't lose time when you find a buyer.
That's one of the most confusing cases for NRIs. I'll guide you on cost basis, documentation trail, and the correct tax reporting — step by step.
Very common. We work with what's available, suggest alternatives, and tell you clearly what's must-have vs nice-to-have — so you don't need to panic.
You'll get clear updates at each stage — Form 13, buyer TDS, bank steps, 15CA/15CB, ITR/refund. Communication is kept simple and time-zone friendly. WhatsApp works too.
