FAQs

NRI Property Buying FAQ

Do I need to be physically present in India to buy property?

No — the entire transaction can be completed remotely via Power of Attorney. Rahul coordinates virtual site visits, legal due diligence, and document execution. The only requirement is that the POA document must be signed, notarised, and apostilled in your country of residence, then registered in India. Rahul has managed dozens of such transactions without the buyer visiting India at all.

How do I send money from abroad to buy property in India?

The simplest approach is to remit funds from your overseas bank account directly to your NRE account in India via SWIFT/wire transfer. Funds in NRE account are fully repatriable and can be used for property purchases. Alternatively, you can send funds directly to the seller's account via RBI-approved foreign remittance channels with a supporting Inward Remittance Certificate. Keep all FIRC (Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate) records for future repatriation of sale proceeds.

Can I rent out my Gurgaon property while living abroad?

Yes — NRIs commonly buy property in Gurgaon purely as rental investment. Rental income is credited to NRO account in India and can be repatriated up to USD 1 million per year after applicable taxes (30% TDS applies if rented to a company). Rahul's property management service handles all tenant and maintenance aspects remotely, providing quarterly rental statements and property health reports.

What is the best area in Gurgaon for NRI investment?

For pure capital appreciation: Golf Course Road (DLF The Camellias, Magnolias). For balanced yield + appreciation: M3M Golf Estate, Golf Course Extension Road. For highest rental yield: New Gurgaon / Dwarka Expressway near office parks. The right choice depends on your budget, holding period, and use (self-use vs. pure investment). Rahul provides a personalised recommendation based on your specific parameters.

Can I repatriate the money when I sell the property?

Yes — sale proceeds can be repatriated up to USD 1 million per year per person from an NRO account after payment of applicable capital gains tax and TDS. For amounts above USD 1 million, an RBI permission under FEMA is required. If the original purchase was funded from NRE account with FIRC documentation, repatriation is typically smoother. Always work with an NRI-specialist CA for repatriation planning.
