NRI property and land services in Palwal, Haryana

For an inherited holding in Palwal or Nuh district, the work starts with the record: the inheritance mutation (virasat) entered in the heirs' names, the shares settled, and the jamabandi read before any buyer is approached.

The purchase restriction applies here as anywhere in India: an NRI or OCI cardholder may not buy agricultural land, plantation property or a farmhouse. A Palwal purchase from abroad is therefore a plot or built property in a lawful residential or commercial category.

Selling a lawful existing holding is open: agricultural land you inherited, or acquired while resident in India, may be sold to a person resident in India (NDI Rules, r. 24(d)).

Much of the coordination can run from abroad — the record work, shortlists and video walkthroughs; who must attend the registration at the Palwal desk, and which originals are needed, is settled first. A power of attorney signed abroad on the proper route lets your attorney sign for you.

TDS on a sale and the repatriation of proceeds are flagged early and go to your chartered accountant; we coordinate, we do not give tax advice.

The FEMA line, stated before anything is sold to you (verified against official guidance, 17 Jul 2026): purchase of agricultural land, plantation property, or farmhouses is not permitted for NRIs and OCI cardholders. Residential and commercial property needs no RBI permission. Agricultural land acquired while you were resident in India may continue to be held, and inheritance from a resident is the lawful route by which NRI families hold Palwal farm land today. Anyone selling you "NRI-safe farm land" against that rule is selling you a problem.

Within the rule, much of the work can run from abroad. Requirements arrive on WhatsApp across time zones. Same-day reply in working hours (Mon–Sat 10–7) — urgent: call. Finding land or checking records takes longer. (Times are IST.) Shortlists come with the honest picture per parcel. Site visits run on video — boundary pillars, approach road, the neighbours' fields, the papers held up to the camera. Document review happens against the digitised record on jamabandi.nic.in and the tehsil registers.

For registry acts, a properly executed power of attorney — signed abroad on the proper route and stamped here within three months of arrival — lets the deal complete without you flying in. Where families prefer to sign in person, we compress the ground work so one trip covers the visit and the deed. Inherited holdings get the unglamorous work first: mutations recorded, shares settled, records cleaned, then the market.

What a power of attorney can and cannot do: it acts only within the powers written into it, for the parcel named in it. A power of attorney does not itself transfer title — only a registered deed does (Supreme Court, Suraj Lamp & Industries v. State of Haryana, 2012) — and a GPA "sale" is not a conveyance. What needs attendance: whoever signs the deed — you or your attorney — appears at the sub-registrar on the signing day, with the original documents; the documents to have ready are your passport or OCI card, PAN, the stamped power of attorney and the title papers. Anything the record cannot settle goes to independent legal review before a token.

Tax questions — TDS on sale, repatriation of proceeds — are flagged early and routed to your chartered accountant; we coordinate, we do not improvise tax advice. The NRI guide cluster covers FEMA, OCI versus NRI rights, POA from abroad, gifts and inheritance, and sale-proceeds repatriation as those guides publish.
