The NRI's guide to buying in Gurugram, without flying in.

Power of attorney, TDS, repatriation, and how we run diligence and viewings for buyers in London, Dubai and Singapore.
Most of our buyers this year live abroad, and few flew in before committing. Here is how the mechanics work.
Money
Buy through your NRE or NRO account, in rupees, and keep every remittance traceable to the purchase. That makes repatriation clean, up to one million US dollars per financial year from an NRO account, with your CA certifying. Plan the exit on the day you enter.
Tax at purchase
From a resident seller you deduct TDS at 1 percent against the seller's PAN. From another NRI the withholding is much higher. We establish residency before you see the house.
Plan the exit on the day you enter.
POA and the one rule
A specific POA, limited to one transaction, lets someone you trust sign; you never fly in for paperwork. And nothing moves on a verbal yes: token, agreement, diligence, registration, each in writing.
The founder's takeSidhharrth Rana
The NRIs who get hurt trusted a relative's broker and skipped the paper because they were far away. Distance is when the file must be tighter, not looser.
We run it on video, on your timezone, and no rupee moves until diligence is done.
Every view here is the firm's own, informed by the deals we actually do. If it is useful, let us apply it to your situation.
