NRI Dholera Plot Investment Guide — FEMA, POA & Remote Buying

FEMA 1999

Can NRI/OCI Buy Plots in India?

Short answer: Yes — completely legal, no RBI permission needed.

✅ Allowed

Residential plots (like Dholera SIR)

NRIs and OCIs can buy without any RBI or government approval under FEMA 1999.

✅ Allowed

Commercial property

Shops, offices, commercial plots — all permitted for NRI/OCI buyers.

❌ Not Allowed

Agricultural land / farmland

NRIs cannot buy agricultural land, plantation property, or farmhouse in India. Dholera SIR plots are NOT agricultural — they are residential/industrial.

Dholera SIR plots are classified as residential/industrial land under the TP Scheme — fully eligible for NRI purchase. All projects listed on this site have clear title and are TP-scheme approved.

Bank Accounts

NRE vs NRO — Which Account to Use?

Use your NRE account for buying. Here's why it matters at exit.

Feature	NRE Account ✅ Use this	NRO Account
Source of funds	Foreign earnings (salary, business abroad)	Indian income (rent, dividends)
Currency	Held in INR, funded from foreign currency	Held in INR
Repatriation	Fully repatriable — no limit, no RBI approval	Limited: USD 1 million/year with CA certificate
Use for property buying	✅ Recommended — clean paper trail at exit	⚠️ Allowed but repatriation is restricted
Tax on interest	Interest income is tax-free in India	Interest is taxable in India
Best for	Buying assets you plan to sell and repatriate	Indian income you want to keep in India

Exchange rates approximate as of Jun 2026. Consult your CA for exact tax implications in your country of residence.

Documentation

Documents You Need as an NRI Buyer

Saurabh sends you a personalised checklist on WhatsApp — here's the overview.

01

Passport Copy

Valid Indian passport or foreign passport with OCI/PIO status. Color scan of all pages with visa stamps.

02

OCI / PIO Card

Overseas Citizen of India or Person of Indian Origin card. If you have an Indian passport, this is not needed.

03

PAN Card

Mandatory for property purchase above ₹50,000. Apply online at incometax.gov.in — takes 48 hours. Saurabh can guide you.

04

NRE Bank Statement

6 months statement from your NRE account showing sufficient balance. Must be self-attested.

05

Address Proof Abroad

Utility bill, bank statement, or driving licence from your country of residence — not older than 3 months.

06

Power of Attorney

Required only if buying remotely (which most NRIs do). Notarised at your Indian consulate. Saurabh provides the template.

Power of Attorney

Buying Remotely via POA — How It Works

You don't need to fly to India. A Power of Attorney lets you buy safely from abroad.

What POA Is

✓A legal document authorising someone in India to sign property papers on your behalf
✓You remain 100% the owner — POA only grants signing authority for this specific transaction
✓Valid in Indian courts — routinely used for NRI property purchases
✓Can be revoked by you at any time in writing

How to Get It Done

Saurabh sends you the POA template (specific to this transaction)
You get it notarised at the nearest Indian Consulate/High Commission in your city
Courier the original notarised POA to Saurabh in India
Saurabh gets it adjudicated at the local Sub-Registrar office in India (one-time step)
POA is ready — registration, allotment, registry can all proceed remotely

Saurabh's role: He provides the POA template, guides you on consulate appointment, receives the document in India, handles adjudication, and keeps you updated via WhatsApp at every step. You don't need a separate lawyer for routine Dholera plot purchases.

The Process

How NRI Buying Works — Step by Step

From first WhatsApp to registry completion — here's exactly what happens.

🔊

Step 1: WhatsApp / Video Call

Start with a WhatsApp message or schedule a video call with Saurabh. He will share project details, site photos, drone footage, and answer every question — no sales pressure.

📍

Step 2: Choose Your Plot

Saurabh sends you allotment options with exact plot numbers, facing directions, and pricing. You confirm your selection. Booking amount (typically ₹1–2 lakh) transferred via NRE wire to builder account.

📄

Step 3: Documents & POA

Saurabh sends you the document checklist and POA template. You get POA notarised at Indian consulate, courier original to India. Simultaneously arrange PAN card if you don't have one.

💸

Step 4: Full Payment

Balance payment via NRE account SWIFT transfer or demand draft. Saurabh provides builder account details and confirms receipt. All payments are builder-direct — no cash, fully documented.

🏛️

Step 5: Allotment & Registry

Saurabh handles allotment letter collection, registry appointment, and stamp duty payment in India via POA. Original sale deed and registry receipt couriered to your address abroad.

📈

Step 6: Post-Registry Support

Saurabh stays in touch for resale when you're ready to exit — price updates, buyer introductions, and documentation support.

Exit & Repatriation

Can You Send the Money Back Abroad After Selling?

Yes — if you bought via NRE, the full sale proceeds are repatriable.

✅

Repatriation Allowed

If funded via NRE account, the entire sale proceeds (principal + capital gains) can be repatriated without RBI approval — up to the original purchase price.

📋

CA Certificate Required

A Chartered Accountant in India issues Form 15CA/15CB certifying that taxes have been paid. Saurabh can refer a CA. This is a standard process — takes 2–3 days.

💰

Tax in India First

Capital gains tax is payable in India before repatriation. Long-term gains (held 2+ years on property): 12.5% without indexation (post-Budget 2024 for purchases after Jul 23, 2024). Even at 12.5% tax, Dholera's 2.5\xc3\x974.6\xc3\x97 appreciation delivers strong net returns. Consult a CA for your specific situation.

🌍

DTAA Protection

India has Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements with UAE, UK, USA, Canada, Singapore and 90+ countries. You may get credit for tax paid in India against your home country's tax. Consult your local CA.

Why Dholera

Why NRIs Are Choosing Dholera Over Apartments

Government-Backed

Not a builder promise — every catalyst here (airport, expressway, Tata fab, NMHC Lothal) is Union or State government funded and under execution.

No Tenant Headaches

A plot doesn't need to be managed, maintained, or tenanted. No rental disputes, no maintenance calls from 6,000 km away. Just hold and appreciate.

Low Entry, High Upside

From ₹15 lakh (≈ USD 18,000). Every Dholera project has appreciated 2.5×–4.6× since launch. That's hard to find in USD-denominated assets.

Title Clear & TP-Approved

All listed projects are TP-scheme plots with clear title — no court disputes, no encumbrances. Registry-ready. Documents verifiable before payment.

Bulk Option for HNIs

NRIs with ₹72.5L+ (≈ USD 87,000) can access the bulk window at ₹725/sqft — same land that will retail at ₹1,500/sqft at launch. Built-in upside.

Easy Remote Exit

When you're ready to sell, Saurabh handles resale enquiries in India on your behalf — buyer introductions, price negotiation, and documentation.

FAQ

NRI Buyer Questions — Answered

Can NRI buy residential plots in India? ＋

Yes. Under FEMA 1999, NRIs and OCIs can purchase residential plots and commercial property in India without RBI approval. Dholera SIR plots are classified as residential/industrial land — fully eligible. The only restriction is agricultural land, which does not apply here.

Which bank account should I use to buy a plot — NRE or NRO? ＋

Use your NRE (Non-Resident External) account for the purchase. NRE funds are fully repatriable — meaning when you sell, the proceeds (original amount + capital gains) can be sent back abroad without RBI approval. NRO accounts are for Indian-source income (rent, dividends) and have repatriation limits of USD 1 million per year.

Do I need to visit India in person to buy a Dholera plot? ＋

No. You can complete the entire purchase remotely via Power of Attorney (POA). Saurabh handles the end-to-end process — video call site tour, document verification, payment coordination, and registry. You authorize a trusted person in India via a notarised POA from your nearest Indian consulate.

What is Power of Attorney and is it safe for property purchase? ＋

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that authorises someone in India to sign documents on your behalf. It does not transfer ownership — you remain the owner. For property purchase, a specific/limited POA is used (only for this transaction). It must be notarised at the Indian consulate in your country, then adjudicated in India.

What documents does an NRI need to buy a plot in India? ＋

You need: (1) Passport copy, (2) OCI/PIO card or valid visa, (3) PAN card (mandatory for property purchase — can apply online), (4) NRE bank account statement (6 months), (5) Address proof in your country of residence, (6) POA document if buying remotely. Saurabh will guide you through each step with a checklist.

Can I repatriate the sale proceeds after selling the plot? ＋

Yes. If you purchased using NRE funds, the full sale proceeds (principal + capital gains) are repatriable without RBI approval. You will need to file capital gains tax in India first. A CA can help with this — Saurabh can refer one if needed.

What is the minimum investment for an NRI in Dholera? ＋

Retail plots start from approximately ₹15 lakh (≈ USD 18,000 / AED 66,000 / GBP 14,000) for smaller plot sizes. Bulk plots (10,000 sq ft+) start at ₹725/sqft — roughly ₹72.5 lakh (≈ USD 87,000) minimum. All payments via NRE bank transfer — no cash, fully documented.
