NRI Guide to Buying a Luxury Flat in Jaipur Everything You Need to Know

For Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) with roots in Jaipur and Rajasthan, the desire to own a luxury home in their home city is a deeply personal aspiration a connection to family, heritage, and an eventual return to the Pink City. But buying a property in India while living abroad comes with a set of regulatory, financial, and logistical considerations that are specific to NRI buyers. This guide covers everything an NRI needs to know about purchasing a luxury flat at Royal Retreat by Kuldhara Builders & Developers in Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur.

Can NRIs Buy Residential Property in India?

Yes. Under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), NRIs (Indian citizens residing abroad) are fully permitted to purchase residential and commercial property in India, without any special approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) enjoy similar rights. The purchase can be made from foreign funds remitted through normal banking channels or from funds held in NRE, NRO, or FCNR accounts in India.

Funding the Purchase NRE, NRO, and FCNR Accounts

  • NRE (Non-Resident External) Account: Funds held in NRE accounts are fully repatriable. EMIs and down payments made from NRE accounts allow full repatriation of both principal and interest upon sale of the property.
  • NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) Account: Used for income earned in India (rental income, dividends). Repatriation from NRO accounts is subject to limits and RBI regulations.
  • FCNR (Foreign Currency Non-Resident) Account: Fixed deposits in foreign currency. Can be used for property purchases with full repatriation rights.
  • Direct Remittance: NRIs can also remit funds directly from their overseas bank account through normal banking channels (SWIFT transfer) to fund the property purchase.

TDS on NRI Property Purchase What Sellers and Buyers Must Know

When an NRI sells property in India, the buyer is required to deduct TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) at 20% on long-term capital gains (property held over 2 years) or 30% on short-term capital gains. As an NRI buyer at Royal Retreat purchasing from Kuldhara Builders & Developers (a resident Indian company), standard GST and stamp duty apply as for resident buyers TDS on NRI status applies at the time of resale, not initial purchase.

Power of Attorney Managing the Purchase From Abroad

Most NRI buyers at Royal Retreat designate a trusted family member in Jaipur typically a parent, sibling, or spouse as a Power of Attorney (POA) holder to execute the purchase on their behalf. The POA document must be executed on stamp paper, signed before the Indian consulate or notarised by a local notary in the country of residence, and then apostilled or attested as per the requirements of the Indian Consulate. Kuldhara's sales team is experienced in guiding NRI buyers through the POA process.
