Non-resident Indians with wealth stuck in real estate in India have reason to rejoice. They can now not only cash out on the property they hold in India but have also been provided an incentive to invest in real estate. This has been made possible by the Reserve Bank of India allowing NRIs to remit the proceeds from the sale of immovable property. The RBI has lifted the 10-year lock-in as a step towards further liberalization of the capital account. The analysts said NRIs who already own property in India, especially inherited _title_s, would be able to sell and possibly avoid messy family disputes and litigation. Barring a few premium properties capital investment would not be a hindrance in almost the entire Indian market for built-up homes and Apartments Tripunithura and Kochi. Banks have been told to allow remittances out of balances in non-resident ordinary accounts, including sale proceeds of immovable property, provided the amount does not exceed $1 million per financial year.

Mortgage lenders generally check with three credit bureaus in order to evaluate your past payment history. Your goal in cleaning up your credit report should be to clean up each of the three bureaus. If you only work on one, this does not effect the reporting to the other bureaus. The first step is to get a copy of your merged credit report, which shows all three of the major bureaus, Experian (formerly TRW), Equifax (formerly CBI), and Trans-Union. Most mortgage lenders will obtain data from all three of these bureaus in analyzing your credit history. The exception is that some portfolio lenders (usually adjustable rate lenders) may only review one. The remittance of sale proceeds of immovable property is, however, within the overall ceiling of $1 million per annum. Some analysts said the $1 million capital could possibly be circumvented through co-ownership of properties. You can buy floors in a building and register them in separate names. In this way, an investor can repatriate multiples of the $1 million capital.
