FAQs
Property Report Questions NRIs Ask
What is a gift deed and when should an NRI use one in India?
A gift deed is a legal document that transfers ownership of immovable property from one person (the donor) to another (the donee) without monetary consideration. NRIs commonly use gift deeds to transfer ancestral property, apartments, or land to children, spouses, or parents while living abroad, subject to stamp duty and registration under state law.
Why should NRIs get a property report before buying or selling in India?
Property fraud, unclear title, hidden mortgages, and municipal tax arrears are common risks for absentee owners. A property report reduces the chance of buying disputed land, losing earnest money, or facing rejection at registration. It is especially critical for ancestral, agricultural, or builder-floor purchases.
What is the stamp duty on a gift deed for NRIs in India?
Stamp duty varies by state and relationship between donor and donee. Many states offer concessional rates for gifts to close relatives (spouse, children, parents, siblings). We calculate applicable stamp duty for your state, arrange payment, and ensure the deed is stamped correctly before sub-registrar registration.
What is included in India For NRI's property verification report?
Our standard report covers title search and ownership verification, encumbrance certificate review, litigation and court-order checks, government approval verification for projects, property tax and government dues status, and a written legal opinion with a senior lawyer consultation call.
How much does an NRI property report cost and how long does it take?
Reports start from USD 250 for residential properties in major cities. Complex commercial, agricultural, or multi-document matters are quoted after a free assessment. Typical turnaround is 7–10 working days once documents are received; express handling may be available for urgent transactions.
Can I get a property report without visiting India?
Yes. The entire process is remote. You share property details and scanned documents by email or our secure portal. Our lawyers and local liaisons visit sub-registrar offices, courts, and municipal authorities in India and deliver the final report digitally with optional courier of hard copies.
What documents are needed to order an NRI property report?
Typically: sale deed or title deed, latest encumbrance certificate (EC), property tax receipts, survey/khasra or municipal records, builder approvals (if applicable), and seller or owner ID proofs. For inherited property, succession or probate documents may be required. We send a tailored checklist after your free consultation.
Is a property report the same as an encumbrance certificate?
No. An encumbrance certificate (EC) is one government record showing registered transactions over a period. A property report is a comprehensive legal opinion that analyses the EC together with title deeds, litigation databases, approvals, tax status, and other records to give you actionable risk findings.
