RULES AND REGULATIONS TO BUY IMMOVABLE PROPERTY
As per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), an NRI/PIO/OCI can freely purchase immovable property including residential and commercial assets. But he cannot purchase agricultural land / plantation property / farm house in India.
MODE OF PAYMENT FOR PROPERTY PURCHASE
Payments can be made through the following:
– Amount remitted to India through normal banking channels, or
– Funds held in NRE / FCNR (B) / NRO account maintained in India – these are three kinds of accounts that an NRI can hold with banks in India.
NRE or Non-Resident External Rupee account can be opened by the NRI himself and not through the holder of POA. It can be in the form of Savings, current or recurring or FD account with maturity of minimum one year.
FCNR or Foreign Currency Non-Resident (Bank) account provides nomination facility in which the nominee can be a resident of India.
NRO or Non-Resident Ordinary Rupee account can be opened by anybody who is resident outside India for carrying out transactions in rupees. It can be opened in the form of current, savings or recurring or FD account.
(Note: Payments via traveler’s cheque or by foreign currency notes or by other mode is not permitted in property purchase.)
SHOULD THERE BE POWER OF ATTORNEY?
It is recommended that an NRI give the POA to his relative/friend since it makes documentation work easier. When NRIs buy under-construction properties, developers ask for a POA from them to execute all paperwork including contracts, deeds, mortgage or lease when the NRI isn’t in the country. Also, POA comes handy in case of selling the property. But, tread with caution! It is always advisable to get the documents run through a professional lawyer.
