Frequently asked questions


Yes. NRIs (Indian passport holders) and OCI cardholders can buy residential and commercial property in India. Agricultural land, plantation property, and farmhouses cannot be purchased by NRIs or OCI holders. Payment must be through NRE/NRO accounts or FCNR deposits — no foreign currency payments directly to builders.

Kochi, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, and Bangalore consistently see the highest NRI buyer shares. Kerala attracts Gulf NRIs returning home, Ahmedabad attracts Gujarati diaspora, and Hyderabad/Bangalore attract tech professionals planning eventual return. Mumbai has high absolute numbers but lower percentage due to overall market size.

Rental yields in India typically range from 2.5-4% annually, much lower than many other markets. Bangalore and Hyderabad offer relatively better yields (3.5-3.8%) due to strong IT-sector tenant demand. Mumbai and Delhi NCR have lower yields despite higher capital appreciation. Factor in property management costs if you’re managing remotely.

These are broad city-level averages for mid-segment ready-to-move-in apartments. Actual prices vary hugely by exact locality, builder, floor, amenities, and market timing. Use these figures for budgeting and city comparison only — always verify with local real estate advisors and check recent transactions in your target locality.

Ready-to-move-in is generally safer for NRIs — you can see exactly what you’re buying, avoid construction delays, and start earning rent immediately. Under-construction may be 15-25% cheaper but carries builder risk (delayed possession, specification changes). If buying under-construction, always verify RERA registration and check the builder’s completion history.

Rental income is taxed at 30% TDS (deducted by tenant). Capital gains on sale: LTCG (held >2 years) at 12.5% above ₹1.25L exemption, STCG at applicable slab rate. TDS at 20% (LTCG) or 30% (STCG) is deducted at source. You can claim DTAA credit in your country of residence. Apply for lower TDS certificate if actual tax liability is less than TDS.

Indian Property Market for NRIs

Indian real estate has traditionally been a favoured asset class for NRIs — both as an investment and as a future home for return. With RERA bringing transparency and major developers listing on stock exchanges, the market is more institutionalised than ever.

What drives NRI property demand?

  1. Emotional connection — many NRIs want a home in their hometown or parents’ city
  2. Rupee appreciation bet — buying when GBP/USD is strong against INR locks in favourable rates
  3. Rental income — steady 3-4% yield in INR, plus capital appreciation
  4. Return planning — a ready home for when you eventually move back
  • Delhi NCR surging — Dwarka Expressway completion and DLF’s mega projects driving 18%+ YoY growth
  • Hyderabad outperforming — continued IT-sector expansion and relatively affordable prices
  • Mumbai premium stabilising — after years of correction, luxury segment finding new equilibrium
  • Bangalore steady — consistent demand from NRI tech professionals, especially Whitefield and Sarjapur Road

NRI-specific considerations

  • Power of Attorney (PoA) — essential for remote purchases. Get it attested at the Indian consulate.
  • FEMA compliance — all payments must route through NRE/NRO/FCNR accounts
  • Joint ownership — with Indian-resident spouse is common and simplifies management
  • Property management — consider professional property managers (typically 5-8% of rent) if managing remotely
