Testimonials
It was very difficult for me to coordinate my Tenant search from the US. The time difference plus the problem of coordinating with someone to show my Apartment was a horror. I bought the Owner Property Management Assure plan from NoBroker and everything was handled by my RM. I got regular updates and all I had to do was finalize a tenant. Right from House Inspection to Tenant Search to preparing the Rental Agreement, everything was done by NoBroker. I would definitely recommend this plan to all my NRI friends.
No broker is truly genie in the bottle when it comes to renting your apartment. I like to say thanks to my relationship manager & Field RMs who helped me close the deal. From tenant sourcing to finalizing the deal and preparing the final rent agreement, all was taken care by NoBroker

How much tax do I pay on the sale of property in India?

If you sell the property anytime after 3 years, it is considered to be a long-term capital gain. Long term capital gains tax is 20% plus a cess of 3%. The short-term capital gains tax is taxed by including the short-term capital gain along with the total income for the individual and taxed per the applicable slab rate.
How can I avoid capital gains tax on property sales in India?
The best way to save on capital gains tax is by following what is mentioned under Section 54. Here, it says you can avoid paying tax on long-term capital gains if you reinvest the money you get by buying another property. You will need to buy the new property either one year before or two years after the sale of the old property. The other catch is you can’t transfer the newly purchased property within three years of buying it.
How can I save taxes when I sell my house?
If you want to reinvest the gains you made, then you can follow Section 54.
