The Importance of an Initial Review

When selling property in India, many NRIs jump straight into finding a buyer. But it's smarter to first review the Income Tax Portal. Some NRIs overlook this, assuming their tax info is untouched. This mistake can lead to outdated contact details and unnoticed notices, causing complications.

Checking the portal early on helps ensure a smooth property sale, reducing the risk of surprises and delays.

Tackling the TDS Issue

After selling, the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) process kicks in. Skipping a thorough check on the Income Tax Portal can mean delayed TDS refunds. Clients expecting quick refunds may face unexpected demands or, in some cases, none at all.

This part digs into the challenges clients face, uncovering a worrying trend of the Income Tax Department uploading old demands. Legality might be questioned, but the department justifies it with excuses like unresponsive notices, creating problems for taxpayers.

Navigating Legal Hurdles

As we look at the legal side of the Income Tax Department's actions, questions arise about their legitimacy. Taxpayers are left vulnerable, especially when dealing with substantial demands. The lack of response allows income tax officers to offset demands against refunds, putting sellers in tough spots.
