Question 1

Can NRIs buy residential property in India?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NRIs (and OCIs) are generally permitted to purchase residential property in India without special RBI approval, subject to FEMA and RBI regulations. Agricultural land, plantation property and farmhouses have separate restrictions. Applicability to your situation should be confirmed with an independent legal or tax professional.

Question 2

Can NRIs buy property in Gurgaon?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NRIs can generally buy residential property in Gurgaon and the wider Delhi NCR, including apartments, builder floors and eligible plotted developments, subject to applicable RERA and FEMA rules. We help overseas buyers shortlist and evaluate options in Gurgaon remotely.

Question 3

Can NRIs buy second homes in India?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NRIs commonly purchase second homes in destinations such as Goa, Alibag and select hill markets, subject to local state regulations. Some states have additional rules for non-residents of that state, so we coordinate independent legal verification before you commit.

Question 4

Can NRIs buy residential plots in India?

Accepted Answer

In general, yes — NRIs can purchase residential plots in India, subject to FEMA rules and local land regulations. Agricultural land is treated differently. Plot purchases benefit from careful title and approval due diligence, which we coordinate through independent professionals.

Question 5

Can NRIs complete a property purchase remotely?

Accepted Answer

Largely, yes. Much of the journey — discovery, shortlisting, virtual presentations, negotiation and documentation coordination — can be handled remotely. Registration may be completed through a Power of Attorney where appropriate, subject to applicable rules and professional advice.

Question 6

What is a Power of Attorney for an NRI property purchase?

Accepted Answer

A Power of Attorney (POA) authorises a trusted person in India to act on your behalf for specified steps such as signing or registration. The format, attestation and stamping requirements vary, so a POA should be drafted and reviewed by an independent legal professional before use.

Question 7

What documents are generally required?

Accepted Answer

Typically: passport, visa/OCI status, PAN card, overseas address proof and photographs, plus transaction-specific documents. Exact requirements vary by transaction and jurisdiction — we coordinate the checklist, and independent professionals confirm applicability.

Question 8

Can NRIs invest in Goa or Alibag?

Accepted Answer

Yes, NRIs can generally purchase residential property such as villas and second homes in Goa and Alibag, subject to local regulations and standard due diligence. We curate title-verified opportunities in both markets and support remote evaluation.

Question 9

Can NRIs invest in Himachal Pradesh?

Accepted Answer

Himachal Pradesh has specific state rules on land purchase by non-domiciles, so eligibility depends on the property type and location. Some opportunities are open to all buyers while others require permission. We assess each option case-by-case with independent legal input.

Question 10

How does Vipul Realtors help overseas buyers?

Accepted Answer

We offer an advisory-led process: discovery call, requirement and budget mapping, curated shortlists, virtual presentations, site-visit coordination, independent legal and due-diligence coordination, documentation and POA coordination where applicable, and post-purchase support.
