Sell your property in India while you live in the USA

List it with Gmore from this page, and pick your country in the phone box. Someone you trust lets our videographer in, Gmore lists the property with the video, and buyers contact you on WhatsApp or Gmore takes every enquiry. Sign the sale yourself on a visit, or give a power of attorney from the USA to someone in India who signs for you.

Sign the power of attorney before a notary in your state, then have it apostilled by the state's competent authority, usually the Secretary of State. The US and India are both parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, so a US apostille is valid in India. If you prefer the Indian mission, the Embassy in Washington and the consulates take attestation applications through VFS Global since 1 August 2025, by post or in person. Once it reaches India, it must be stamped within three months.

The buyer deducts tax at source under section 393(2) of the Income-tax Act, 2025: for a non-resident individual, 12.5% of a long-term gain (property held for more than 24 months) and 30% of a short-term gain, plus surcharge and 4% cess. If you owe less, apply before the sale for a lower deduction certificate in Form 128 on the TRACES portal.

US citizens and resident aliens are taxed on their worldwide income, so the gain is reported on your US return. Income tax paid in India on the same gain can usually be claimed as a foreign tax credit on Form 1116.

The buyer pays into your NRO account in India. From it you can send up to USD 1 million abroad each financial year (April to March), with Form 145 and, above ₹5 lakh, a chartered accountant's certificate in Form 146. These forms replaced Form 15CA and Form 15CB in April 2026.

If your foreign accounts, such as NRO and NRE accounts in India, together exceed USD 10,000 at any time in the calendar year, a US person files an FBAR (FinCEN Form 114) electronically. It is due on 15 April, with an automatic extension to 15 October.

From ₹8,999 including GST, for a property up to 5,000 sq ft. Your exact fee is set for your property, by its size and value, and shown to you before you pay. It covers the filming visit, the professional video and the first month of listing. After that the listing continues at ₹999 a month until you stop. There is no commission when your property sells.

No. You pay the flat listing fee and nothing when your property sells. In India, agents usually charge 1 to 2% of the sale price.

To qualify, keep the listing live with each monthly fee paid within 7 days of its due date, keep your asking price within the range your Property Advisor recommends, reply to enquiries within 2 days and allow site visits.
