🏠 How NRIs Can Buy Property in India Without Being Scammed

For NRIs, buying property in India often feels like walking through a minefield. Between paperwork, distance, and trust issues, it’s hard to know what’s real and what’s risky.

At India Wapsi, we’ve helped hundreds of NRIs find verified homes, plots, and office spaces without the stress. Here’s a simple guide on how to do it right.

🔍 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Know What You Want
Before anything else, define your goal:

  • Is this for investment or living?
  • Apartment or villa?
  • Which city and budget?

Having clarity helps you focus and avoid random property listings from everywhere.

2. Choose RERA-Registered Builders
Always go for builders or agents who follow RERA (Real Estate Regulation Act) guidelines. This ensures your money is protected and timelines are legal.

3. Insist on Virtual Property Tours
Ask for Zoom/WhatsApp video tours. Even better ask for a third-party property verification if you can’t visit in person.

4. Do Title & Legal Verification
Use a trusted service (or India Wapsi’s partner network) to check:
âś… Title Deed
âś… Builder Reputation
âś… Disputes or Loans on Property
âś… RERA ID

5. Plan Your Documentation in Advance
As an NRI, keep these handy:

  • Passport
  • PAN Card
  • Power of Attorney (POA)
  • NRE/NRO bank accounts for transactions

6. Avoid Full Upfront Payments
Split payments into milestones. Use bank-approved escrow methods to stay safe.
