Yes. NRIs can buy residential and commercial plots in India without prior RBI permission under FEMA guidelines. The only restriction is agricultural land, plantation property, and farmhouses — these are not permitted. RERA-registered residential plots in approved layouts are fully permitted.
Payment must come through NRE (Non-Resident External), NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary), or FCNR accounts, or via direct remittance from abroad through banking channels. Cash payments are not permitted. All payments must be traceable for future repatriation eligibility.
Yes, subject to limits. Funds originally paid from NRE or FCNR accounts may be repatriated. Long-term capital gains (property held 24+ months) are taxed at 12.5% and proceeds can be repatriated with a CA certificate (Form 15CA/15CB). Your CA and banker will guide the exact process for your country of residence.
Not necessarily. A Power of Attorney (POA) executed in your country of residence, notarised and apostilled, then adjudicated in India, allows a trusted person to register on your behalf. Some states require the buyer's physical presence — confirm with a local lawyer for the specific state before assuming POA will suffice.

DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement) between India and most NRI countries prevents double taxation on the same income. Consult a CA for your specific country and property type.
