India: NRIs, OCIs do not need prior nod to buy immovable property, Reserve Bank says

December 30, 2021

Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and Overseas Citizen of India (OCIs) will no longer need prior approval of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to buy or sell immovable property like houses in India, other than agricultural land, farm house and plantation property, the central bank said on Wednesday.

The clarification has been issued by RBI after received a large number of queries with regard to acquisition of immovable properties by OCIs in the wake of a Supreme Court judgement relating to Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA).

“At present, NRIs/OCIs are governed by provisions of FEMA 1999 and do not require prior approval of RBI for acquisition and transfer of immovable property in India, other than agricultural land/ farm house/ plantation property, as per the terms and conditions laid down in Chapter IX of the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019, dated October 17, 2019 (as amended from time to time), issued under Section 46 of FEMA 1999,” the RBI said in a statement.

The RBI issued a clarification on acquisition/transfer of immovable property in India by Overseas Citizen of India (OCIs).

“A large number of queries have been received at various Offices of the Reserve Bank, based on newspaper reports on a Supreme Court Judgement, on whether prior approval of RBI is required for acquisition/transfer of immovable property in India by as Overseas Citizen of India OCIs,” the central bank said.

“It is hereby clarified that the concerned Supreme Court Judgement dated February 26, 2021 in Civil Appeal 9546 of 2010 was related to provisions of FERA, 1973, which has been repealed under Section 49 of FEMA, 1999,” the RBI added. (ANI)

it requires extensive research and experience to choose best available option at the given time as opportunity always keep changing. in this case, we can assist prospective buyer in 2 ways:

Option 1) Pure consultancy on fixed fee basis: in this way, we will assist buyer to find best project and property as per his preferences & budget as buyer may already reached to builder & negotiating so we can not be paid by builder so in this case fixed fee will be charged to buyer in advance before giving the consultancy then buyer can directly approach to builder to finalize the property.

Option 2) We involved as a Brokering company: in this way, prospective buyer will visit through us to each project and we will be registered reprsentative with builder for buyer so in this case, buyer has to pay nothing for our same consultancy services which we were giving in above option 1, even we will refund fee which we receive from buyer for option 1.
