NRI Real Estate Investment in India – A Quick Guide
Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) are permitted to purchase specific types
of properties in India under the guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and Foreign
Exchange Management Act (FEMA). While residential and commercial properties can be freely
purchased, agricultural land, plantation property, and farmhouses are restricted and require
prior approval from RBI.
Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) are treated the same as NRIs for property investments.
The RBI has granted general permission for NRIs to invest in residential and commercial real
estate. There is no need to seek special approvals or send intimation for such purchases,
making it much easier for NRIs to invest in India’s growing property market.

NRI Guarantor Documents:
- Passport and valid visa copy
- Proof of overseas residence (driving license, utility bill, bank statement, insurance
receipt)
- Income documents
Applicant Documents:
- Financial documents for salaried or self-employed individuals
Personal ID proofs
