NRI Property Sale
Selling real estate in Bangalore while living abroad involves navigating complex legal procedures, capital gains taxation, RBI/FEMA repatriation rules, and buyer negotiations. Without trusted local representation, NRIs often face procedural delays, tax withholding errors or fraudulent documentation risks.
At ProConsult Legal, we provide end-to-end legal oversight and facilitation for NRI property sales across Bengaluru. We act as your trusted legal representative on the ground, ensuring your sale transaction is completely secure, fully compliant with Indian laws, and executed without requiring your travel to India.

How the Sale Process Works
Initial Legal Audit & Valuation Check
Reviewing your property documentation to ensure title clearance and market readiness.
Drafting Agreements & PoA
Preparing the Sale Agreement and guiding you through overseas PoA execution and local adjudication in Bengaluru.
Tax Optimization & Clearance
Filing applications for lower TDS deduction to preserve your liquid cash during sale closing.
Closing, Registration & Repatriation
Signing final sale deeds before the Sub-Registrar, securing full payment into your NRO account, and assisting with funds repatriation abroad.
Do I need to come to Bangalore to execute the sale deed of my property?
No. You can grant a legally valid, restricted Special Power of Attorney (PoA) to a trusted representative or legal attorney in Bengaluru. Once executed via consular attestation/apostille abroad and adjudicated locally, your attorney can sign the sale deed on your behalf at the Sub-Registrar office.
What is the TDS rate applicable on property sales by NRIs in India?
TDS under Section 195 for NRIs is deducted at full capital gains tax rates (plus applicable surcharge and cess) rather than the standard 1% applicable to resident sellers. We assist you in applying for a Lower TDS Certificate from the Income Tax Department to ensure tax is deducted only on actual gains rather than total sale value.
How do I repatriate the sale proceeds back to my country of residence?
Sale proceeds can be repatriated outside India through your NRO/NRE account up to USD 1 million per financial year under RBI’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), supported by Form 15CA and Form 15CB certifications issued by a Chartered Accountant.
How does ProConsult Legal ensure the buyer's funds are safe before signing the sale deed?
We mandate strict payment milestones in the Sale Agreement, ensuring that full sale consideration (via demand draft or bank transfer) is verified and cleared prior to registering the final Sale Deed at the Sub-Registrar office.
