The Indian property market for NRIs

Property in India is a common asset for NRIs, both as an investment and as a home to return to. RERA has made project information easier to check, and many large developers are listed, but a city average says little about any one building. The tracker above gives price per square foot, typical yields and the share of buyers who are NRIs in each city, as a starting point for comparison.

Why NRIs buy

  1. A home in the family’s city. Many NRIs want a place in their hometown or their parents’ city.
  2. Exchange-rate timing. A strong pound, dollar or dirham buys more rupees, though the rate can move either way before you finish paying.
  3. Rental income. Rent in rupees alongside possible price growth.
  4. A return plan. A ready home for when you move back.

What to check before you pay

  • RERA registration. Confirm the project and the promoter on the state portal before any payment.
  • Title. Have a lawyer check the chain of ownership, encumbrances and approvals.
  • Payment route. Pay only through NRE, NRO or FCNR accounts or inward remittance. Our NRI banking guide explains which account to use.
  • Power of attorney. If you cannot attend the registration, a power of attorney attested at the Indian consulate lets a trusted person act for you.
  • Joint ownership. Holding with a resident spouse is common and can make management easier.

Costs and tax beyond the price

Budget for stamp duty and registration, which vary by state, and for legal fees. If you let the property, plan for a property manager if you live abroad. Finance costs depend on the lender, and the mortgage comparator shows what NRIs can borrow in India and abroad. When you eventually sell, the proceeds go to your NRO account and leave India under the annual limit explained by the repatriation calculator .

Common questions


Yes. NRIs and OCI cardholders can buy residential and commercial property. They cannot buy agricultural land, plantation property or farmhouses. Payment must come through NRE or NRO accounts, FCNR deposits or inward remittance through banking channels, and not as foreign currency paid directly to a builder.

Yields on Indian residential property are low relative to prices, and they differ by city, as the tracker shows. Rent is taxed in India, and a property manager will take a share, so work out the yield after those costs. The rent TDS calculator shows what is withheld from rent paid to an NRI.

They are broad city-level averages for mid-segment ready-to-move-in apartments. Actual prices vary widely with locality, builder, floor, amenities and timing. Use them to budget and compare cities, then check recent transactions in the locality you are considering.

Ready-to-move-in is usually simpler for an NRI buying remotely, since you can see what you are buying, avoid construction delays and start earning rent sooner. Under-construction units are often cheaper but carry the risk of delays and specification changes. Check the project’s registration with the RERA verifier and the builder’s record of finishing projects.

Rent is taxed in India, and the tenant must deduct TDS at 31.2%. A long-term capital gain on property is taxed at 12.5% without indexation, and a short-term gain at your slab rate. When you sell, the buyer deducts TDS on the full price, which a lower-deduction certificate can reduce. Credit for Indian tax is available in your country of residence under the treaty. The property sale guide has the details.

Every rate and threshold here is sourced, dated and shown on the page — but tax rules change, and we would rather be told than be wrong. Reports go to the team that maintains the tool. If you can point at the official source, that gets it fixed fastest.
