Why Choose REITs for NRI Real Estate Investment

REITs as a new concept for NRIs revolutionize property exposure. Skip direct buys’ pitfalls 30% down payments, stamp duty (5-7%), GST, and maintenance. Instead, own fractional shares in premium assets via stock-like units.

Diversification Power

Spread across 20-100 properties. If stocks dip, REIT rentals hold steady (India's office vacancy <10% in 2026).

Regular Dividend Income

90% cash flow payout mandated. Best REITs for NRIs yield 6.5-9% (e.g., Embassy at 7.8% trailing 12 months).

Liquidity & Low Entry

Trade on NSE/BSE; start with ₹12,000. No 3-year lock-ins.

Tax Efficiency for NRIs

LTCG 12.5% post-24 months (indexation); DTAA cuts dividend TDS to 0-15%.

Inflation Hedge

Rents rise 5-7% yearly; total returns beat FDs (6.5%).

Example: Rajesh in Dubai (NRI REIT Success Story)

Invested ₹1 crore across two REITs via NRIQ. No tenant chasing!

₹7.2L Dividends (Year 1) ₹8L Capital Gains 15.2% Total Return
