Finance (No. 2) Act 2024 rewrote to a flat 12.5% LTCG with no indexation on land and building. The election back to 20% with indexation is reserved for residents. NRIs don't get it. Grandfathering still works for pre-2001 assets and inherited property under Section 49(1).

“My CA in the US... never once mentioned DTAA. Four years. TrustNRI recovered 3 years of excess TDS and set up prevention going forward. That 26AS upload feature? Instant clarity. Wish I had found this sooner.”

Business Owner, Nairobi

“My Indian CA had been filing at default rates for 20 years. No treaty claim, no Form 10F. The Kenya DTAA caps interest at 10%, and with five years of condonation plus Section 244A interest, TrustNRI recovered more than I'd expected. The property sale Form 13 the next year was the real cherry.”

Recovered ₹4,20,000
