How is NRI rental yield calculated?

Gross yield = (Annual Rent ÷ Property Value) × 100. It shows raw return before any deductions. A good gross yield for Indian residential property is 3–6%; Airbnb sub-leasing can push this to 7–12%.

Net yield accounts for vacancy (months the property sits empty) and running costs like maintenance, society charges, and property management fees.

NRI TDS: Under Section 195 of the Income Tax Act, tenants must deduct TDS at 31.2% (30% + 4% cess) on rent paid to NRIs. You can claim a refund if your actual tax liability is lower by filing an Indian ITR.
