NRI Playbook

Looking after your property in India from the US

A referral for managing a flat in India: tenants, rent, maintenance, and a power of attorney.

Managing a flat in India from the US usually means relying on family, or on a manager who can act for you. A power of attorney lets someone sign documents on your behalf, and it must be signed and attested correctly to be valid in India.

What this covers

  • Finding tenants and collecting rent.
  • Maintenance, society dues, and property tax.
  • Setting up a power of attorney from the US.
  • Tax deducted from rent paid to an NRI, and how to report the rent.
