Buy & Hold

Buying property in India and keeping title without losing it: what FEMA lets you buy and how the money must move, PAN and KYC, a power of attorney that works, due diligence and the TDS you deduct as a buyer, RERA, the benami trap, vacant-flat risk, and khata. 62 pages.

Rent & Run

Letting an India flat and running it from abroad: the leave-and-licence agreement, where the rent lands and the tenant's TDS, rental-income tax, society dues and bills, the GST and deposit scams that target NRI landlords, eviction, and how to choose and control a manager. 59 pages.

The Exit: Sell, Inherit & Repatriate

Selling, inheriting, and moving money home: capital gains and the exemptions that cut them, the buyer's TDS under Section 195 and the lower-deduction certificate, repatriation and the USD 1 million route, DTAA relief, inheritance, succession certificates, and the co-heir deadlock. 64 pages.

These guides report the rules and name the traps. They are not legal or tax advice; confirm your own facts with a chartered accountant and a lawyer. Get an itemized management proposal or read our NRI property guides.
