NRI Property Management in Pune

NRI property management in Pune is the running of a non-resident owner's flat by a local team: tenant search, leave and licence e-registration, rent collection, society work, repairs, and tax records. This page sets out what the Maharashtra rules require of you, and what 66 MG Road runs in Pune. It is part of our NRI property management service.

What we run in Pune, and what we do not

Full management runs with our own people in Delhi NCR and Bangalore. Pune is not one of the two, and you should read that before you read anything else on this page.

What runs in Pune is the Property Health Check at ₹20,000, one time, and Watch at ₹1,000 a month. Both are done by a vetted local surveyor to the same reporting standard we hold our own cities to. Neither takes your keys, your power of attorney, or your rent, which is why neither needs a manager living in the township. Owners we already manage for in Pune stay with us. We are not taking on a new full-management property here.

If you want the flat run end to end today, the honest answer is Delhi NCR or Bangalore. If your flat is in Pune and you want to know what state it is in before you hand anyone keys, that is the Health Check, and it is the product we built first.

What we check in a Pune flat

One visit by one vetted surveyor, and a written report within five working days of that visit:

1. Dated photographs of every room and the exterior, recorded as found.
2. Boundary and demarcation as recorded, checked against what stands on site.
3. The Encumbrance Certificate, pulled from the sub-registrar and read, so you see any charge registered against the flat.
4. Society standing. Maintenance dues, arrears, and the interest a committee has added to them.
5. PMC or PCMC property tax status: what is paid, what is outstanding, and from which year. The Pune property tax guide covers how to clear it.
6. Occupancy verified in person. Who is in the flat, on what paper, and whether the leave and licence agreement on record is e-registered.
7. A written risk report, ranked by what costs you most if you ignore it.

Watch repeats the photo and occupancy check every quarter at ₹1,000 a month, so a vacant flat in Wakad gets looked at four times a year instead of never.

How it works

Step 1: You book it. You send the address and what you know about the flat. No keys move. No power of attorney is signed. No money of yours is held.

Step 2: The surveyor visits. One vetted person, on a date you know in advance, standing in the flat.

Step 3: The report reaches you. Within five working days of the visit. The Encumbrance Certificate comes from the sub-registrar, and that queue is not ours to control, so it is the one line that can run late.

Step 4: You decide. Repair it, let it, sell it, or put it on Watch and leave it. You decide with the facts instead of a phone call from a cousin.

What it costs in Pune

Property Health Check: ₹20,000, one time, per property. Watch: ₹1,000 a month. No commission on rent, because we do not collect your rent in Pune. No markup on the surveyor. Full-management rates apply in Delhi NCR and Bangalore, and all of it sits on our pricing page.

Why Pune owners abroad lose money

• The broker vanishes after the licence is signed. The tenant's complaints become your midnight phone calls.
• The relative stops responding. The flat in Wakad you bought while at Infosys becomes a strain on the relationship.
• Repairs get billed twice. The same plumbing job, two invoices, six months apart. Photos and receipts end that.
• Rent arrives late and shrinks. Unexplained deductions, no paper trail, and you in another time zone.
• An unregistered agreement weakens you. Maharashtra requires registration. Owners who skip it find out in court.
• Vacant flats decay. Pune's monsoon does not wait for your next India trip.

Every one of those six is a fact about the flat that nobody has checked. That is the gap the Health Check closes.

Pune specifics every NRI landlord should know

• Registration is compulsory, whatever the duration. Under Section 55 of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999, every leave and licence agreement must be written and registered. The 11-month unregistered shortcut common in other states has no legal cover in Pune.
• E-registration works from abroad. Maharashtra's Department of Registration and Stamps runs online e-registration of leave and licence agreements, so a Pune agreement can be registered without the owner flying in.
• Tenant police intimation is required. Maharashtra Police rules require landlords to intimate the local police station with tenant details. That duty sits with the landlord.
• Where NRI demand sits. Market trackers name Hinjewadi, home of the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, and Kharadi, with EON IT Park and the World Trade Center, as the corridors with the strongest tenant demand, alongside Baner and Wakad. Trackers place Pune residential gross yields in a 2.5 to 4.5 percent band, with the IT corridors at the upper end.

FAQ

Do you manage flats in Pune end to end? No. Full management runs with our own people in Delhi NCR and Bangalore. In Pune we run the Property Health Check and Watch through a vetted local surveyor. Owners we already manage for in Pune stay with us. If that changes, this page changes and carries the date of the change.

Can I register my Pune leave and licence agreement from abroad? Yes. Maharashtra runs online e-registration, so the process works without you flying in. We do not draft or register agreements in Pune. The Health Check tells you whether the agreement on your flat today is registered.

Is an unregistered 11-month agreement valid in Pune? No. Section 55 of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act requires registration of every leave and licence agreement, whatever its length. If your flat is let on an unregistered agreement, the Health Check says so in writing.

Who handles tenant police verification in Pune? The landlord does, under Maharashtra Police rules. The Health Check reports whether the intimation was filed for the tenant in your flat today.

Which Pune areas rent fastest? Trackers point to the employment corridors: Hinjewadi and Kharadi first, then Baner and Wakad. Tenant demand follows the tech parks.

My flat is in a large township society. What does the check tell me about the society? The surveyor pulls the society ledger for your flat: maintenance dues, arrears, interest added, and any notice or NOC on file against the unit.

How do I verify a repair happened in my flat? The Health Check and Watch give you dated photographs of the flat as it stands, taken by the surveyor. Repair-by-repair proof on a monthly itemized statement is part of full management, and full management runs in Delhi NCR and Bangalore.
