Indian Parents Funding Overseas Property for NRI Children Under RBI Remittance Rules
Indian resident parents can fund overseas property purchases for their NRI or OCI children under the Reserve Bank of India's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), which allows up to USD 250,000 per financial year per individual. Transactions must comply with the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), and parents should decide whether the funds are a gift or a loan, as this affects tax and documentation requirements. Unused LRS limits cannot be carried forward, and remittances exceeding the limit must wait until the next financial year.
