However, now with RERA in place, a real estate developer is expected to allot 70% of the capital money collected for a project in an escrow account, which is eventually released as the construction of the project progresses. The transparency of funds used is one of the biggest factors that builds trust for <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casagrand.co.in\/tag\/nri-investment-in-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"NRI investment options in India (opens in a new tab)\">NRI investment options in India<\/a><\/span><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casagrand.co.in\/tag\/nri-investment-in-india\/\"><strong>.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the tax treatment on the gains made from real estate investments?<\/strong><br>Any rental received from property investment in India is considered as income accrued in India and is taxable, regardless of the residential status of the person. One can earn rental income from the investment as well as short-term and long-term capital gains. After a standard deduction of 30% TDS from rent payments, the remaining is added to the total income and is then taxed on normal rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for capital\ngains, if the NRI sells his\/her property within two years of its purchase, the\nprofits earned on that sale are considered short-term capital gains, and will\nbe taxed as per the slab rate applicable for it. On the other hand, if the\nproperty is kept for more than two years, the benefit will be long-term capital\ngains, which will get taxed at 20% post indexation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Home Loans for NRIs<\/strong><br>Now is a good time to buy a house if you intend to get it on a home loan, as the interest rates are at a remarkable low of 6.5% in some banks. A loan of up to 80% of the property value can be availed for any real estate purchase. The banks allow a loan repayment tenure of up to 30 years, however, the loan amount depends on the individual borrower&#8217;s profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where should one start looking for investment options?<\/strong><br>It is recommended to purchase a property directly from a trusted and reputed real estate developer, as opposed to transacting through any middlemen. This ensures transparency in the process, which is an integral factor for any investment, especially for NRIs. A trusted builder spends years establishing his name and earning goodwill, which ensures no capital mismanagement takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For anyone on the lookout for beautiful homes to invest in must check out the luxurious residences, villas and plots by <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casagrand.co.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Casagrand developers (opens in a new tab)\">Casagrand developers<\/a><\/span><\/strong> in Chennai and Bangalore.
