Why NRIs Are Buying Homes in India Today
Whether it’s to reconnect with roots, build rental income, plan retirement, or secure a valuable investment — NRIs are re-entering the Indian property market in large numbers. Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, and Hyderabad are leading the charts, with high ROI and improved infrastructure making them long-term winners.
With evolving laws, RERA compliance, and smarter digital services, owning property in India while living abroad is now easier than ever before.
Step-by-Step Guide for NRIs to Buy Property in India
Step 1: Understand What You Can Legally Buy
As an NRI under FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act), you can:
- Buy residential or commercial properties (apartments, villas, plots, offices)
- You cannot buy agricultural land, plantation property, or farmhouses without RBI approval
💡 Tip: Stick to RERA-registered projects with clear documentation for peace of mind.
Step 2: Choose the Right Location
For NRIs, it’s crucial to select a city or micro-market that promises long-term appreciation and rental yield. In 2025, the top-performing NRI-friendly hubs include:
- Bengaluru: Panathur, Whitefield, Sarjapur Road, Hebbal
- Mumbai: Thane, Dombivli, Upper Chembur
- Hyderabad: Kokapet, Gachibowli, Kompally
- Pune: Hinjawadi, Baner, Kharadi
💡 With Real Connect, you’ll get micro-market insights and developer comparisons before making a decision.
Step 3: Appoint a Power of Attorney (POA)
If you’re not physically present in India during the buying process, appointing a Power of Attorney (POA) is essential. The POA can:
- Sign documents on your behalf
- Register the property
- Represent you in financial or legal matters
💡 We’ll help you draft and notarize a valid POA in your country of residence.
Step 4: Arrange NRI Home Loan (if needed)
Most leading Indian banks offer special NRI home loan schemes:
- Loan tenure up to 20 years
- Lower interest rates for salaried NRIs
- Loan disbursed directly to developer’s account
💡 Real Connect can connect you to the best NRI loan partners with minimal paperwork.
Step 5: Complete the Purchase and Registration
Once your documents are verified, and finances are in place, you’re ready to book:
- Sign Agreement to Sale
- Pay booking & stamp duty
- Complete Registration & Possession
💡 We’ll coordinate with developers, legal teams, and local registrars on your behalf.
