Getting flat registration by non-resident buyer

Aadhaar mandatory for property registration

Yes, it is mandatory. 

Aadhaar is necessary even for NRIs.

Yes the photocopy of the aadhar card is necessary to sell the property also 

Thank you for your reply sir. But the person buying the property (Flat) is a US citizen. Can a non-resident take Aadhaar!!! 

If you are an NRI/OCI, following are some of the guidelines you should keep in mind, before buying a property:

• Both NRIs and OCI have the permission to buy both commercial and residential property in India. You do not need to submit any intimation or send any communication to the Central Bank for the purchase of a property.
• NRIs cannot buy agricultural land, plantation or farmhouses in India.
• NRIs/OCIs do not require special permission for buying immovable property in India. You can sell or gift such a property to any resident in India. Buying the property in INR is acceptable and the funds need to be maintained in a Non-Resident Account under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulation.
• In the case of income through the sale of immovable property, you can repatriate the funds after the deduction of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) (i.e. between 20% and 30%), depending on whether it is a short-term or long-term capital gain.
• As an NRI/OCI, you can purchase a property independently or jointly. You can purchase jointly either with a Resident Indian (RI) or an NRI/OCI.
• If you have a property in India and you later attain an NRI status, you can continue to hold the property in your name.
• If you want someone to carry out transactions on your behalf, you need to execute a Power of Attorney (PoA). The PoA holder will sign on the NRI’s behalf and conduct property/loan related transactions.
• A property owned by NRI/OCI can be given out for rent. The rent received from the property can be repatriated after paying applicable taxes (TDS of up to 30%) in India.
• One needs to do a mandatory background check before buying any property in India. Get a first-hand experience by connecting with existing customers, to know about the property details.

These are some of the guidelines for buying a property in India, it will be appropriate to consult concerned authorities, where property is located.

Thank you Dr. J. C. Vashista for the useful information.

Nice and elaborate reply. Thank you, sir. But you did not discuss Aadhaar. Is it mandatory for an NRI who is a citizen of the USA?
