NRI Guide: Buying Property in India Without Flying Down

NRIs can freely buy residential and commercial property in India — agricultural land, plantations and farmhouses are the exceptions.

Funding

Payments must come through normal banking channels — an NRE, NRO or FCNR account. Cash transactions are not permitted.

Power of Attorney

A registered, clearly worded PoA lets a trusted representative in India sign on your behalf. Keep the scope narrow and project-specific.

Tax

TDS applies on purchase above the prescribed threshold, and rental income is taxable in India. Ask for a written tax note before you sign.

How we help

We run live video site tours, share legal due-diligence reports, coordinate registration through your PoA holder and manage the asset after possession.
