Real Estate

NRIs can invest in residential and commercial real estate properties in India. However, they cannot choose to invest in farms, plantations, and agricultural land.

Investing in reputed properties can provide higher returns in the long term and is considered one of the best investment options for NRI. However, it might get difficult to process the formalities, such as the documentation, registration, etc., staying abroad.

It is one of the best investment options for NRI looking forward to planning their retirement in India. Both the NRE and the NRO account can be utilised for the NPS investment.

There are two stages in the NPS investment, Tier I and Tier II. Tier I is compulsory, and Tier II is voluntary. The investors can choose between Active and Auto Choice methods. With the Active Choice investment method, the investors can choose the allocation between equity, corporate bonds, etc. And with the Auto Choice method, the allocation is done automatically based on the age of the NRI investor.
