98. RBI Form IPI-7 Requirement for
Property Purchase and Sale in India
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Prasanna. I am planning to buy a Residential land
in Chennai, India. As a OCI holder I am not sure what are all
the documents I should have.
After browsing a lot I came to know that after purchasing the
land I should file a declaration in form IPI 7 with the Central
Office of Reserve Bank at Mumbai within a period of 90 days
from the date of purchase of immovable property or final
payment of purchase consideration along with a certified copy
of the document evidencing the transactions and bank
certificate regarding the consideration paid.
Question 1: Where would I get the IPI 7 Form?
Question 2: The money should come from NRE and NRO or
just NRE account?
Please advice.
Thanks
PRasanna
A. You can view form IPI-7 HERE This form is for foreign
citizens of Indian origin. Check with the authorities what is
required and mention your OCI status. A qualified accountant
in India could help you sort this out.
