Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can NRIs purchase agricultural land in Punjab?
NRIs are generally restricted from purchasing agricultural land, plantation property, or farmhouses in India under FEMA regulations. However, they may inherit such property.
2. How is TDS calculated on property sales by NRIs?
TDS is deducted by the buyer — typically 20% for long-term capital gains (property held 2 years) or at applicable slab rates for short-term gains. We assist in obtaining a lower deduction certificate where eligible.
3. Do I need to travel to India to sell my property?
No. With a properly executed and registered Power of Attorney, we can complete the entire sale process on your behalf, including Sub-Registrar registration.
