06 December 2012 Hi

I will suggest you to read the following regulation

Foreign Exchange Management (Acquisition and Transfer of Immovable Property in India) Regulations, 2000

I also suggest to check RBI circulars on this matter for current update.

06 December 2012 American citizen needs to take permission of RBI to purchase the immovable property in India. RBI, subject to purpose of investment, MAY grant the repatriation benefits.

07 December 2012 Dear Sir,
The link above says that
Foreign nationals of non Indian origin resident outside India
are not permitted to acquire any immovable property in India unless such
property is acquired by way of inheritance from a person who was resident in
India. Foreign Nationals of non Indian origin who have acquired immovable
property in India by way of inheritance with the specific approval of RBI can not
transfer such property without prior permission of RBI.

..............
So does it concludes that a N.R cannot purchase a property in India?
