NRI Property
Managed from Abroad

In most cases, yes. With a registered Power of Attorney and digital documentation support, the majority of the buying process can be completed remotely. The physical presence requirement is primarily at sub-registrar registration; this can be handled by a POA holder in India. Vedhara guides NRI clients through exactly what requires physical presence versus what can be completed digitally.

Property purchase consideration must flow through NRE (Non-Resident External) or NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) bank accounts, or via direct foreign inward remittance. Repatriation of sale proceeds is allowed from NRE accounts without restriction. NRO account repatriation has a cap of USD 1 million per financial year.

Yes. Under Section 195 of the Income Tax Act, the buyer is required to deduct TDS at 20% on long-term capital gain (property held for more than 24 months) or 30% on short-term gain on the sale consideration paid to an NRI seller. The NRI seller can apply for a lower TDS certificate from the Income Tax Department if their actual tax liability is lower.

Vedhara's Property Management service handles tenant sourcing and screening, rent collection and transfer to your NRO/NRE bank account, maintenance coordination, and periodic video condition reports, all managed remotely so NRI owners maintain visibility over their Indian assets without requiring travel.
