Consult a CA in India for tax benefits and available options to NIRs.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate) 13 July 2025
Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) can repatriate funds from the sale of their property in India, subject to certain conditions and limits.
They can remit up to USD 1 million per financial year (April-March) from the sale proceeds of assets, including those acquired by inheritance, or from their Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) accounts.
This repatriation is subject to tax clearance and other regulatory requirements.
The UK offers Foreign Tax Credit Relief (FTCR) under its double taxation treaties.
This allows NRIs to offset UK tax liability by the amount of tax already paid in their country of residence on the same income.
To claim FTCR, complete the Foreign Pages (SA106) when filing your Self Assessment return.

It is better to consult and engage a local prudent chartered accountant / lawyer for proper appreciation of facts/ documents and professional advise.
