Dear Client,

List Of Documents that an NRI requires to sell a property.

Passport

An NRI, who want to sell a property in India, should hold a passport; not necessarily an Indian passport. This will serve as the identity proof of the person, involved in the transaction.

For an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) and a Person of Indian Origin (PIO), a passport serves the same purpose.

PAN Card

A number of NRIs do not pay taxes in India, as their income is taxable in the countries they stay. However, experts believe NRIs should apply for a PAN (Permanent Account Number) card here when they intend to buy a property in India, as it will be required to apply for a tax exemption certificate as after the sale of the property. PAN numbers are given out to NRIs with a foreign communication address to select countries.

Tax Returns

If an NRI has been holding a property for a certain period and earning money from it (by renting it out, etc), the transaction becomes taxable. In that case, tax returns for the whole property-ownership period should also be kept ready.

Address Proof

An NRI has to give documents in support of his address in India as well as abroad. This may include a ration card, telephone or electricity bills, life insurance policy statements, etc. Same set of papers are also required as the proof of residence abroad.

Sale Deed

A key document needed in the process is the sale deed, also a primary proof of ownership. A legal document, sale deed is an agreement executed by an NRI while purchasing an under-construction property in India.

Allotment Letter

A letter of allotment (from a society, a builder or any relevant authority) bestows the property to the said person who holds it.

Documents From The Society

For an apartment in a particular society, a letter from the apartment/society is needed for a go-ahead to the sales process. This document states the seller has no outstanding payments to the society. A copy of membership of the society is also important to establish ownership of the property.

Approved Building Plan & Occupation Certificate

While a copy of an approved building plan is necessary for selling a property, an occupation certificate is a proof that the apartment has been occupied and is also given out by the builder or the building society.

Encumbrance Certificate

An encumbrance certificate is necessary to assure the buyer that the land or the property has no dues to any legal authority. This is important in the case of a house, an apartment or even land.

Apart from these documents, it would also help if an NRI can provide documents of property tax receipts over the years. A guarded buyer may ask for it.

In case an NRI is unable to produce any one the above documents, he/she may go for a lawyer certificate that proves the ownership of the property. A lawyer would carry out a title search and produce a report on the property. Though this certificate is also admissible for a sale, an original document is necessary to get a sale done quickly.

Thank You.

Don’t accept any deposit 

ask him to arrange funds then you will sell property to him by registered sale deed 

best is DD or NEFT into NRO account 

It is not normal that a buyer would deposit the entire sale consideration amount first and then get the sale deed registered later.

What is the reason that the buyer is demanding this arrangement||?

The possibilities of such suspected scams cannot be ruled out hence it would be advisable to be cautious while dealing with such people.

The safest mode of transaction is any transaction which eventfully creates a legally valid evidence

Dear Client,

The chain starting with title deed which validates that the seller is the true owner of the property to sale deed, encumbrance certificate, property tax receipts, among other things.

The owner may have given a power of attorney to a third party to deal with the property. It is important to check if the power of attorney holder has entered into any arrangement with any third party.

Once a home purchase deal is finalized between a buyer and a seller, a formal process is initiated to conclude it legally. This starts with the buyer paying the seller a small portion of the transaction value, to show his genuine intentions. This payment, in Indian real estate parlance, is commonly known as the ‘token amount’.

Since the buyer pays this money to show his genuine interest in the property, this amount is also referred to as the ‘advance deposit’ or ‘earnest deposit’.

The interest you earn on an NRO Account is taxable at 30%, deductible at source.

If your finances include your income earned in India and you want an account to manage it within India, an NRO Account is an ideal option.

Thank You.

It's not normal. Before registration and possession total amount must be paid
