Most of an NRI transaction can be done without flying in. What cannot be rushed is the paperwork: a power of attorney takes weeks to sign abroad and stamp in Delhi, and the certificate that lowers the buyer's TDS can only be applied for after the agreement to sell, and then takes weeks. Start the first early, be ready for the second, and move every rupee through a bank.

Distance — You cannot be present for viewings, negotiations, or the registration. Every step requires someone trustworthy on the ground. TDS complexity — The buyer must deduct TDS on the full sale value under Section 195 — not just on the capital gain. FEMA compliance — Repatriating sale proceeds requires specific documentation and account structures. Documentation — Title searches, mutation records, and a review of how ownership has travelled must be correct. Trust — Most NRIs rely on a family member or a broker they have never met in person.
Before anything is committed, we need to understand your situation — and you need to understand how we work. The first conversation is simply that: a conversation. No documents, no forms. We determine whether we are the right advisory for your specific situation, and whether your situation is one we can handle well.
If both sides are comfortable, we proceed to the next stage. If not, we will tell you directly — and that saves everyone time.
Yes. A power of attorney to a trusted person in India handles what cannot be done from abroad. It is signed at the consulate, then stamped in Delhi before use.
Yes. NRIs and OCIs can buy residential and commercial property. Agricultural land and farmhouses are not permitted. Your CA confirms eligibility for your case.
Yes, for both buying and selling. It is needed for registration and for the tax paperwork on either side.
No. The fee structure is the same. NRI clients receive additional coordination on TDS, Lower Deduction Certificate applications, PoA structuring, FEMA compliance, and repatriation — all of which are part of the standard NRI mandate.
