Frequently Asked Questions for Indian Investors

Key legal, financial, and regulatory questions on buying Dubai real estate from India.

Can an Indian citizen buy freehold property in Dubai?

Yes, Indian citizens (both resident Indians and NRIs) can purchase 100% freehold property in designated investment zones across Dubai, including Downtown, Marina, Business Bay, JVC, and Palm Jumeirah.

How do I legally send money from India to buy Dubai property?

Under the RBI Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), every Indian resident can remit up to $250,000 per financial year via Form A2 directly to the developer's official DLD Escrow account. TCS of 20% applies above ₹7 Lakh, which can be claimed back in your ITR. Documentation and tax collection rules are strict — verify with a local adviser or your authorized dealer bank before remitting.

Is income from Dubai property taxable in India?

The UAE charges 0% personal income tax and 0% capital gains tax. Under the India-UAE Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), real estate income is primarily taxable where the asset sits (UAE). However, Indian tax residents must disclose foreign assets in Schedule FA of their ITR. Cross-border tax treatments vary by filing status — verify with a local adviser or Chartered Accountant (CA).

What does SKID's Reserve or Walk Away verdict mean?

A 'Reserve' verdict means the launch price is competitive compared to real DLD closed sales of ready properties in that area and has a healthy payment plan. 'Walk Away' means the developer ask is significantly inflated above market fundamentals andready comps.
