Who we serve · NRI buyers
For NRI buyers: Mumbai real estate, handled properly across time zones
Buying property in Mumbai from abroad usually fails on logistics rather than intent: a call returned in the middle of your night, a site nobody can verify independently, a remittance question nobody answers clearly, a power of attorney that needs redoing.
For nri buyers, in brief
The Genesis NRI desk supports non-resident buyers purchasing in Mumbai and the MMR: an honest micro-market briefing rather than a sales pitch, unrehearsed remote site verification, coordination with your chartered accountant on FEMA-compliant payment routing and tax, power of attorney sequencing, home loan facilitation and representation at registration and possession.
What you arrive with
The problems we usually hear first.
No way to verify what you are being told
A curated video tour is marketing, not verification.
Unclear payment and repatriation rules
Which account, in what sequence, and what happens when you eventually sell.
Registration without travelling
Power of attorney drafted, attested and consularised in the wrong order causes months of delay.
Response that ignores your time zone
A named contact in your working hours rather than a rotating queue in Mumbai's.
What we do about it
Four moves, in order.
Independent briefing, remote verification, and a transaction mapped before money moves.
- 01
Brief, don't pitch
Micro-market evidence and an honest read of your shortlist before any project is recommended.
- 02
Verify remotely, for you
Unrehearsed live walkthroughs, construction-stage evidence, RERA filings and approval status.
- 03
Map the transaction first
Payment routing, PoA sequence, loan, documentation and registration agreed with your advisers before commitment.
- 04
Represent you on the ground
Registration, possession inspection and handover to property management if needed.

Questions
Frequently asked.
Can an NRI buy property in Mumbai?
Under current FEMA rules NRIs and persons of Indian origin may generally acquire residential and commercial property in India, with agricultural land, plantation property and farmhouses excluded. Confirm your specific status with your chartered accountant before transacting — rules change and individual circumstances differ.
Do I need to come to India to buy?
Not necessarily. A power of attorney drafted for the specific transaction and correctly attested in your country of residence can allow representation at registration. Start the PoA process early, because the attestation sequence is the most common cause of delay.
How do NRIs pay for property in India?
Through normal banking channels — inward remittance or funds held in NRE, NRO or FCNR accounts — not in foreign currency cash. The right account depends on how you intend to hold and eventually repatriate, so decide it with your CA before the first payment.
