🚨 NRI selling property in India?
Capital gains tax is only one part of the story.
You may also need to deal with: ✅ TDS ✅ FEMA compliance ✅ Form 15CA/15CB ✅ Repatriation rules
Selling property and sending money abroad are not the same thing.

Selling your property in India doesn't automatically mean you can send the money abroad.
Property sale ≠ Repatriation.
Banks check FEMA compliance, acquisition history, tax documents, eligibility & more before remittance.
Plan the exit before the sale.

🚨 ED action involving Dubai properties is a reminder that overseas real estate isn't just about buying property.

For Indian residents, foreign assets must comply with FEMA, LRS and RBI regulations.

The risk isn't the property.

The risk is how it was acquired.

NRI. Exercised ESOPs from Indian company.
Gain was real. Shares were legitimate.
Money landed in your US account.
FEMA violation.
Here is what most NRIs don't know.
When you became an NRI —
your Indian company ESOPs became non-repatriable.

📩 DM "ESOP NRI"

You exported the goods.
The money came back.
But not to your company account.
It went into a personal account.
From an unrelated third party.
In a different country.
Under FEMA — that is not export realisation.
That is a violation.

[FEMA Consultant India @femabide]

You're an NRI.
You own property in India.
You think compliance is simple — buy, rent, sell, repatriate.
Every one of those steps has a FEMA rule.
And most NRIs are getting at least one wrong.

You're an NRI.
You contribute to a chit fund back home every month.
Under FEMA — that's a prohibited investment.
Not restricted. Not subject to approval.
Prohibited.
Here's what that means — and why most NRIs find out too late. 🧵

₹184 crore penalty — not for fraud.
For misrepresenting what the company does.
Indian regulators are now penalising businesses for how they describe themselves — not just what they do.
Every founder, CMO & compliance officer needs to read this.
