How NRI buyers should structure a Gurgaon real estate portfolio

Sep 2025

NRI buyers from the UAE, US, UK, Canada, Singapore and Australia represent close to a third of premium Gurgaon transactions. The mechanics, however, can be surprisingly nuanced — particularly around FEMA compliance, repatriation, taxation and the very practical question of who manages the asset on the ground.

Our recommended structure: open an NRE account for primary purchase funding, an NRO account for rental receipts, and a clearly drafted special-purpose PoA with someone you trust in India. Most premier developers now offer NRI-dedicated escrow accounts, simplifying the FEMA paper trail.

Post-possession, two questions matter most: who will manage the rental cycle, and who will represent you at the RWA. We typically integrate a vetted property-management partner from day one and tie compensation to a percentage of rent collected — aligned incentives, no surprises.
