NRI Buying Checklist: 3 BHK Flat in Ahmedabad 2026
Every step an NRI needs before, during and after buying an Ahmedabad 3 BHK.
Overview
NRIs can buy unlimited residential property in India under FEMA without RBI approval, provided payment routes through an NRE/NRO account. GujRERA (gujrera.gujarat.gov.in) provides the same statutory protections to NRI buyers as residents.
Step-by-Step Checklist
- Verify GujRERA registration for your shortlisted project.
- Execute a Special Power of Attorney if you cannot be present for registration, notarised at the Indian consulate.
- Open/activate an NRE/NRO account.
- Engage a local property lawyer for title verification.
- Sign the Agreement for Sale and pay from your NRE/NRO account.
- Complete registration at the Sub-Registrar Office, paying stamp duty (~4.9%) and registration (~1%).
Does an NRI need RBI permission to buy in Ahmedabad?
No, under FEMA’s general permission, provided payment is via NRE/NRO account.
Can the whole process be completed remotely?
Yes, via a registered Power of Attorney, though being present for at least the final registration is recommended where travel allows.
