22 November 2008 Further:

What are the conditions regarding repatriation of balances in NRO accounts?
Ans:

1) Repatriation is allowed up to US dollars 1 million per calendar year for any purpose from the balances in NRO accounts subject to payment of applicable taxes.
2) The limit of US dollars 1 million includes sale proceeds of immovable properties held by NRIs/PIOs for a period of 10 years.
3) In case a property is sold after being held for less than 10 years, remittance can be made if the sale proceeds have been held by the NRI/PIO for the balance period.
