It’s rarely just about the property.
It’s the documents you can’t find, the tax question before a sale, the family conversation about an inherited home, and the decisions that can’t wait for your next flight.
Rent earned in India, obligations abroad
Rental income reporting, tax your tenant may need to deduct, and the documents your CA will ask for.
Selling from abroad takes more than a buyer
TDS, capital gains, who signs for you, and how the money is paid.
Family property, important decisions
Deeds, heirship records and joint-owner papers gathered, with a lawyer reviewing succession.
Be represented without giving up control
When a Power of Attorney makes sense, how it must be signed, and what it allows.
Plan how your sale money reaches you
Documents and tax steps for sending proceeds abroad, with your bank and CA.
Records in order before they’re urgent

Questions owners abroad ask
General information, not legal or tax advice. The rules depend on your situation, so a CA, lawyer or your bank advises on your case.
Is Indian rental income taxable if I live overseas?
Generally yes. Rent from property in India is taxable in India, and you may also need to declare it in the country where you live. Deductions and treaty relief depend on your situation, so a CA should confirm what applies.
Who handles TDS when my tenant pays rent?
When rent is paid to an owner living abroad, the tenant usually has to deduct tax before paying you and file the deduction. The rules for owners living in India don’t apply, so a CA should set this up before the tenancy starts.
I’m selling my property. What about NRI TDS?
When the seller lives abroad, the buyer generally has to deduct tax from the payment. How much depends on your gain and tax position, so get a CA’s review before you agree the payment schedule.
Can sale proceeds be transferred to my overseas account?
Often yes, through permitted banking routes. It depends on how the property was bought, the taxes paid and RBI conditions, so your bank and CA should assess the transfer first.
Can I complete a sale without visiting India?
Some steps can be done through a properly signed Power of Attorney. Whether that is enough depends on the powers it grants and the registration office’s requirements, so a lawyer should review it.
Can I inherit property or transfer shared family ownership?
Generally yes, subject to personal law and foreign exchange rules. Heirship records, partition or release deeds and mutation are separate steps, and usually need a lawyer.
Can NRIs and OCIs buy any kind of property?
They can generally buy homes and commercial property. Agricultural land, plantations and farmhouses are restricted, though inheriting them is treated differently.
Is NRI status the same under tax law and FEMA?
No. Income-tax residency and residency under FEMA (India’s foreign exchange law) use different tests, so check both when planning rent, a purchase, a sale or moving money abroad.
How do I send you my documents?
Not through the website form. Once we’ve spoken, we’ll share a secure way to send what’s needed.
