NRI Desk

India, from anywhere.

A dedicated desk for Indians resident overseas — acquisition, structuring, tax, FEMA compliance, tenancy and post-purchase management, all orchestrated across time zones.

Global Indian, Local Trust

The complete India property partner for the diaspora.

Purchasing property in India from London, Dubai, Singapore or New York is one of the most emotionally charged and legally intricate transactions a family will undertake. Currency conversion, FEMA, RERA, TDS, DTAA, POA — the acronyms are dense, the stakes higher still.

Whytehall’s NRI desk is staffed by advisors who themselves have lived abroad. We understand the emotional weight of a homecoming and the operational reality of managing an asset from 8,000 kilometres away.

Frequently Asked

Questions, answered.

Can I purchase property in India from abroad without visiting?+

Yes — a duly executed Power of Attorney (POA), notarised and apostilled in your country of residence, allows a trusted representative (or Whytehall) to execute the sale-deed on your behalf.

Which types of property can NRIs buy?+

NRIs can freely purchase residential and commercial property. Agricultural land, plantation and farmhouse purchases are restricted under FEMA — our team advises on structuring where necessary.

How is rental income taxed for NRIs?+

Rental income is subject to TDS at 31.2% at source, credited to your NRO account. We coordinate DTAA-based refunds where applicable to your country of residence.
