One confusion that hovers over their mind is about the documents that they might need while investing and holding the transaction. To reduce this tension of theirs,
We bring a list of all the required documents by an NRI for making an investment in India.
- The first and foremost documents that are required by them are PIO which stands for an Indian passport for a Person of an Indian Origin card or else an Overseas Citizen of India Card i.e. OCI. So NRI needs passport in order to invest in our country and if you are individual then a person of /Indian origin card is needed like for those who are not really citizens of countries such as Bangladesh, /Nepal, Pakistan, Iran, Bangladesh, China, Srilanka, Bhutan or Afghanistan but they have had the Indian passport. A PIO is needed in case you are a foreign citizen whose grandfather and father were citizens of India. And for a person who is not really a citizen of this country but was eligible for becoming Indian citizen before or say after partition, they would require for an overseas citizen of India.
- The second document that is required by an NRI is PAN card, as they are expected to file the income tax returns in case of a rented out property. Also if the concerned property is sold later, then the capital gains which arise from the sale of that property would be subject to the capital gains tax.
- If you are one those NRIs who tend to not visit the country too often then it will easier for you to get the registration, possession, sale and other processes completed, by giving the power of attorney to anyone from the city (who you know well) .
