NRI Property Advisors · Mumbai
Buy a Verified Home in Mumbai —
from Dubai, London, or New York.
Urban Dwaar helps NRIs and OCIs buy RERA-registered homes in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and Thane — without broker pressure, hidden charges, or timezone stress. We handle every step: from FEMA-compliant payments to Power of Attorney, site visits, and paperwork.
We respond in your timezone. No spam, ever.
Can NRIs buy property in Mumbai?
Yes. NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) and OCIs (Overseas Citizens of India) can legally buy residential and commercial property in Mumbai without prior approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The purchase is governed by FEMA — the Foreign Exchange Management Act — which allows NRIs to buy flats, apartments, and commercial units freely.
What NRIs cannot buy: agricultural land, plantation property, or farmhouses. All other residential property — including under-construction and ready-to-move flats — is permitted.
Key rule: All payments must be routed through Indian banking channels — via NRE, NRO, or FCNR accounts. Cash transactions are not permitted under FEMA or Indian Income Tax rules.

Our due diligence
What Urban Dwaar checks before recommending any project to an NRI
MahaRERA registration status
We verify the RERA number, unit inventory, and possession date directly on maharera.maharashtra.gov.in
IGR transaction data
Actual registered sale prices from Maharashtra's Inspector General of Registration, not developer-quoted prices.
Builder track record
Past possession history, litigation on RERA, and completion rate across all projects by the developer.
OC (Occupancy Certificate) status
Critical for home loan disbursement — we track this quarterly from MahaRERA Form 1/2/5 filings.
Free-sale vs rehab inventory
We separate rehabilitation units from free-sale units so NRIs only see what is actually available to purchase.
Rental yield estimates
Based on historical IGR data for comparable units in the same micro-market (indicative, not guaranteed).
