What We Offer

New Property Due Diligence

When purchasing property in India, especially as an NRI, it is critical to ensure that the property is free of any legal or ownership disputes. Our team conducts thorough due diligence to safeguard your investment by:

  • Verifying the title and ownership history of the property.
  • Checking for encumbrances such as mortgages or unpaid taxes.
  • Ensuring compliance with local zoning laws and land-use regulations.
  • Reviewing all legal documents related to the sale or purchase.

Lower TDS

When NRIs sell property in India, they are subject to a high TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) rate of up to 20%. However, with proper planning and legal guidance, it is possible to reduce the TDS burden. Our team can assist with:

  • Obtaining a lower TDS certificate from the Income Tax Department.
  • Guiding you on how to claim TDS refunds.
  • Filing necessary paperwork and ensuring compliance with tax laws to maximize your tax benefits.
