221. British citizen buy property in India
Q. Can a British citizen buy a property from a housing society? A. A British citizen needs to get RBI permission to buy property in India. However a British citizen of Indian origin can buy residential property in India. Regards to your specific question about buying from a housing society, this would depend on the society rules and regulations. Some housing societies are quite rigid and I have heard of cases where sales to some minorities are not allowed even though such rules may be considered to be discrimination. Courts are slow in India and often such things are hard to prove.
