Frequently asked questions
Can an NRI buy property in India?
NRIs and OCI cardholders can generally buy residential and commercial property in India. Agricultural land, plantation property and farmhouses generally cannot be bought by them, though they can inherit them. Check current FEMA rules with your advocate.
Do I have to travel to India to handle my property matter?
Not always. A properly executed power of attorney lets a trusted person act for you, and many steps can be handled by your advocate. Registration of some documents may still need the executant or attorney holder to appear before the sub-registrar.
