Frequently asked questions.

Can an NRI inherit property in India?+

Yes, regardless of citizenship or OCI status. Residential, commercial and agricultural property can all be inherited. The exact process depends on whether a Will exists and where the property is located.

Does a Will need to be probated in India?+

In some jurisdictions, yes. Property cannot be transferred to a beneficiary until the Will is probated, regardless of how clearly it is written. This is best planned for in advance.

Can rental income go into an NRE account?+

No. Rental income must be credited to an NRO account. This is one of the most common compliance errors NRI families make, and it can go unnoticed for years before becoming a regulatory issue.

Should an NRI have a separate Indian Will?+

Generally, yes. A Will made abroad can technically cover Indian assets, but a properly registered Indian Will is simpler to execute and considerably harder to contest.
