Understanding the legal documentation and financing options is crucial for non-resident Indians (NRIs) and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) looking to invest in real estate in India.
Legal Documentation:
Before embarking on a property purchase journey, NRIs and PIOs must ensure they have the necessary legal documents in order. These include:

- Power of Attorney: NRIs/PIOs can execute and register a power of attorney in favor of their appointed representative to complete formalities in their absence.
RBI Regulations:
No formalities or documentation need to be submitted to the Reserve Bank of India by NRIs/PIOs when buying residential or commercial properties under general permission.
Joint Ownership:
NRIs have the flexibility to purchase property individually or jointly with another NRI, expanding investment opportunities and fostering collaboration.
Funding Options:
- Inward remittance through normal banking channels.
- Utilization of funds held in non-resident accounts, complying with Foreign Exchange Management Act provisions.
- Home loans facilitated by RBI for property purchase.
