Q10. Who can purchase immovable property in India?

Under the general permission available, the following categories can purchase immovable property in India:

  • Non-Resident Indian (NRI)
  • Person of Indian Origin (PIO)
  • Overseas Citizens of  India ( OCI)

The general permission, however, covers only purchase of residential and commercial property and is not available for purchase of agricultural land / plantation property / farm house in India.
