Quick Summary
Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) looking to purchase residential or commercial property in India must adhere to specific regulations, primarily under the FEMA Act, not the Income Tax Act. Transactions typically require using a registered person and obtaining prior permission from the RBI, with funds managed through a Non-Resident External account. While specific amount restrictions exist, seeking expert advice is highly recommended due to the complex interplay of RBI, banking, and FEMA provisions.
