Investing in property in India can be a smart financial move—whether you’re building wealth, planning your return, or simply securing a home base. But navigating the Indian real estate market, especially from overseas, can feel overwhelming.

Whether you're an NRI or a first-time buyer in India, RealtyBlocks is here to make your journey smoother, smarter, and stress-free.

Here are 5 key things you should know before making a purchase:

🏠 1. Know What You Can (and Can’t) Buy as an NRI

NRIs are allowed to buy most types of residential and commercial properties in India. However, agricultural land, plantation property, and farmhouses are restricted unless inherited.

👉 Tip: Use RealtyBlocks’ legal partners to verify eligibility and get clarity on what you can buy based on your status.

📄 2. Check for Clear Titles and Approvals

Legal due diligence is non-negotiable. Make sure the property has:

A clear land title
Proper zoning approvals
No pending litigation or unpaid dues

👉 RealtyBlocks offers title verification, legal support, and RERA compliance checks—so you never buy into legal trouble.

🏦 3. Understand the Tax Implications

Buying property in India comes with tax responsibilities. As an NRI, you may be subject to:

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) on property transactions
Capital gains tax if you sell
Income tax on rental income

👉 Our financial experts on RealtyBlocks can guide you through NRI tax planning and help optimize your returns.

📲 4. Use Digital Tools to Buy Remotely

You don’t have to fly in to close the deal. With RealtyBlocks, you can:
