29 August 2013 Section 194-IA starts with the word "ANY PERSON responsible for paying to a resident transferor......"

There are 2 conditions here:

1. Transferor must be a RESIDENT.
2. Transferee (Buyer) can be any person. Any person includes non-resident also.

Accordingly if a non-resident purchases property from a resident he is required to deduct TDS u/s 194-IA.
