I am an NRI, wishing to dispose of a residential property approx valued at 4cr
Held since 1980
Please advise on
1/ my status has been a Resident indian - as a pensioner so far- but wish to take the proceeds abroad. Should I open an NRO acct and get sale proceeds thereand then transfer funds abroad- as can do USD 1 mill/year under LRS. As an NRI
Any problems / complications in that?
2/ as there is a Tax treaty with India/ US , will IRS accept my tax payment in India or govern me under US laws? And tax me again?
3/To correctly assess Cap Gains and pay tax- I believe that prior to 2001 The cost inflation index is to be done as per FMV of 2001
Who decides this FMV in 2001 - ? Brokers or Govt?
Ans: With respect to capital gain query, it is advisable to take valuation report from approved valuer who will make report considering ready recknor value decided by concerned gov authorities as on 1 4 2001.
For account opening related query, better to contact your banker and for US tax laws query, please contact US Tax Consultant.
