As an NRI, if you sell any property in India, whether it is a commercial or residential, then you must follow all the rules and regulations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA). The repatriation will depend on the residential status and the method of getting the property, and the source of funds.

    Here are some of the possible scenarios if the property is bought by the NRI. 
     

    1.   If the sale of property is bought by you before becoming an NRI. Then you can repatriate sales of up to 1 million USD in a financial year, and if you want to remit more than 1 million USD in a year, then you need to take special permission from the Reserve Bank of India by applying through the authorised bank. 
       
    2. If you bought a property as an NRI, then the repatriation limit will depend on the source of funds through which you have purchased the property. If you have purchased property with foreign currency through your NRE or FCNR account, then you can repatriate of the sale of the whole property, apart from agricultural land, and purchased property through your NRo account, then you can transfer funds up to 1 million USD in a financial year.
