15 May 2011 Section 54 and deposits are applicable. Can invest in residential properties abroad as well in view of the decision in
Mrs. Prema P. Shah v. ITO [2006] 282 ITR (AT) 211 (Mum).
If the property is purchased with NRE funds, sale proceeeds can be repatriated subject to the compliance of Income tax Act,1961 and the rules of Foreign Exchange Management Act,1999.
