Hi Everyone,

I have under construction property in India with possession due in Dec 2021. I have Canadian PR, can someone suggest if there will be any issues with my property possession/ registration if I become Canadian citizen?

Thanks!
 
Thanks Hari! I appreciate you sharing the link for detailed information. Also, do you know how much of taxes I would need to pay being NRI?

Tax in India or outside of India after becoming an OCI?

Three questions in that case:

1. During property registration in India, do NRI's/ OCI status holders need to pay any additional taxes/fee?

2. When I purchased property, I was Indian citizen, but when I will get registration done, I would be Canadian citizen, will there be any issues/ roadblocks to get registration done? Should I wait to become Canadian citizenship before registration is complete?

3. I eventually want to sell off that property and bring money to Canada, will be there be tax on that money apart from the bank international wire transfer fees?

Thanks

Sorry I am new this situation and not tracking on this stage yet.
 
RSS2015 for your question number 1 no need to pay any additional taxes or fee.
and for your question number 2 there will not be any issue or roadblock to get the property register in your unless it is an agricultural land.

You will likely have to pay Canadian taxes. There are likely to be capital gains and you are taxed if it is not your primary residence. Would do some research based on your individual situation.
