 the person from whom the property is inherited should have acquired the same in accordance with the foreign exchange law in force or FEMA regulations, applicable at the time of acquisition of the property.

Dear Shr Chary

My apologies if i did not make myself clear. In the process of selling my apartemnt  ( i am NRI), the buyer has informed me that he will deduct TDS at 30% from the sales considration since this is required under the IT laws for resident indians who  buy a property from NRIs. However, in this forum I noted that buyer has noting to do wiht suhc a deduction. Will appreicate guidnace on this, best regards, ramesh
