Before choosing to buy a property, get to know the purpose of the purchase. Are you buying a property in India to live with your
family or you buying a property for your parents back home or is it just purely for investment purpose? Determine the purpose first
as your decision will directly affect on where to choose and which developer to choose. Next determine your budget. When it comes to
the price of the property there are many things to consider, it is not just the base sale price. Reputed builders come with extra
charges including preferential location charge (PLC), external development charge (EDC), infrastructure development charge (IDC),
parking charges, club membership fees, maintenance charges, etc. In addition to all this there are some charges which has to be
considered before the possession of the property including stamp duty charges, registration charges, legal fees, brokerage fees (if
applicable), yearly taxes and more.

to buy a home in Chennai also consider the regions in and around Chennai including Thiruvallur, Kanchipuram because there is a huge
choice of new developments in these regions. Check whether the region you have chosen has got a good infrastructure including
connectivity to road, rail and air, good growth rate and employment opportunities and also on the quality of life the place will
provide. In case if you want to go for future rentals house or above all the appreciation value the location of the
house will play a major role.
When you choose the builder, do a complete research on the builder including the builders’ reputation in the market, ease of
transaction, on time delivery of the project, quality of construction and delivery of the promises made including amenities, security
and other facilities. If you are going for a home loan then make sure the bank is approving loans for the particular builder. There
are some builders who do homes with modern amenities so depending on your budget you can choose the builder. Finally just make sure
your builder prices are not very high when compared to the market price.

residence. You are allowed to appoint power of attorney to someone in India and they can sign the papers at the time of property

The booking amount for the property is just between 10 to 15% of the base sale price and it can be done through wire transfer or INR
from any established NRE/NRO accounts maintained with banks in India. There are also some developers who provide the option of paying
the amount in USD check thus eliminating an additional step for many NRI buyers. There are two plans for payment, down payment plan
and linked plan. In the down payment plan buyers pay 85% of the total sale price in a very short span of time usually within 30-60
days of booking and they pay the remaining amount of 5% at closing. In this payment the buyer is given a substantial discount as a
means of incentive to pre pay. In the linked plan the payments are made in installments during different stages of construction. For
example if the hand over period is three years then the installment payments are done every 2-3 months. In this type of payment the
capital is not blocked due to delays in construction.
If you are going for a bank loan you have many banks offering home loans for NRIs including Citi, State Bank of India, ICICI, Kotak,
HDFC and more. There is a good credit history system in the country and the average time the bank takes for approval of bank loan is
same as the time taken for a US -based mortgage. The borrower should be able to pay 30% of the cost of the property by
himself/herself and the term amount does not exceed 15 years. Initially the rate is quite low as 8% but eventually after a year the
rates can rise to 9.75%.
It is not necessary to submit your PIO/OCI card at the time of purchase; it is more than enough if you can just establish your NRI
status. The card is mandatory only at the time of the sale and during repatriation of funds. NRIs can obtain up to two houses by way
of gift from an Indian citizen or a person of Indian origin whether resident in India or not, provided gift tax has to be paid.
Repatriation of funds from the rental income and eventual sale of the property is the final step involved in buying a property in
India while being abroad. At present NRIs are allowed to repatriate up to $1million per person each year. In case if you don’t have a
PIO/ICO card, you can apply through Indian embassy and it can be obtained in 7 days. Capital gain taxes are applicable at the time of
sale, and are considered long-term after 36 months of ownership, ending up in a significant tax break. It is to be noted that if the
tax is paid to India then the income is not subject to tax in the residence country with proof of payment. Rental income must be
credited to an NRO account, maintained by an Indian Bank. HSBC, Citi and others.
Ask your property developer if they have property management arm to assist you after possession of the property. The property
management company will manage everything including security, maintenance, rental agreements to quality tenants.
