NRE vs NRO Payment — Advisory Guide
Banking Route Before Booking
For NRI buyers, the payment route is not only a convenience issue. It creates the evidence trail for source of funds, bank compliance, tax review, and possible future repatriation. This is why payment planning belongs near the start of the buying process.
NRE, NRO, FCNR(B), and Inward Remittance
A buyer may use overseas remittance or eligible NRE, NRO, or FCNR(B) funds depending on the source of money and bank guidance. The buyer should ask the bank to confirm the permissible route, required documentation, and whether any remittance certificate or declaration will be needed.
PIKORUA Coordination Role
PIKORUA Realty coordinates property timelines, payment schedule, developer or seller requirements, and document collection so the buyer's bank and CA can advise before money is moved.
