Can NRIs Execute a Rent Agreement?

Many NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) own residential or commercial properties in India. Renting out such properties is a great way to generate regular income. However, a common question arises:

Can NRIs legally execute a rent agreement while living abroad?
The answer is Yes – NRIs can execute a rent agreement in India without having to travel.

Options Available for NRIs

1. Through a Power of Attorney (POA)

  • The most common method is to authorize a trusted person in India (family, friend, or a property manager) through a registered Power of Attorney.
  • The POA holder can sign the rent agreement and help the owner.
  • This makes the process seamless and avoids delays.

2. Digitally / Online Rent Agreements

  • In many states, online registered agreements approved by Maharashtra government.
  • The owner should have a PAN card and, Aadhar card to execute it online
  • At Ghar Befikar, we help NRIs prepare and execute online rent agreements securely from abroad.
  • This ensures compliance with Indian laws while giving NRIs complete control and transparency.
