Why Tricity

Why Zirakpur, Mohali & Chandigarh
for Your Canadian NRI Investment

While Toronto and Vancouver real estate stagnates, Tricity offers what savvy NRI investors have always wanted β€” massive appreciation, clean cities, and a connection to home.

Direct Airport Access

Chandigarh International Airport β€” 12 km from Zirakpur β€” connects directly to Toronto, Vancouver, and Surrey. Your investment sits at the gateway of Punjab’s most connected city.

15 km

Market Appreciation

Tricity properties have appreciated 60–80% in 5 years. That’s 12–16% per annum β€” outperforming most Canadian GICs, mutual funds, and REITs significantly.

80%

Currency Advantage

1 CAD = β‚Ή61+ in 2026. Your Canadian savings buy significantly more Indian real estate than they did 5 years ago β€” and INR weakness continues to benefit CAD buyers.

β‚Ή61+

Exploding Infrastructure

Metro expansion, IT park development, new ring roads, and AIIMS satellite β€” Tricity’s infrastructure spending is creating the next decade’s appreciation story, starting now.

β‚Ή12,000Cr

Quality of Life

India’s cleanest large city. Top hospitals (PGI, Fortis), international schools, planned sectors, low crime β€” the city NRIs actually want to return to or settle parents in.

#1

RERA Protection

Punjab RERA covers all registered projects β€” builder accountability, transparent timelines, and legal recourse. Your investment is protected by law, not just promises.

FEMA & Legal

FEMA Guide for Canadian NRIs
β€” Everything You Need to Know

Buying property in India from Canada is completely legal and straightforward β€” when done correctly. Here’s what the law says.

1

Who Can Buy?

Indian Passport (NRI) or OCI cardholders can purchase residential & commercial property in India without RBI permission. PIOs with valid OCI cards are fully eligible. Agricultural land is prohibited.

2

Payment Rules

All payments must flow through NRE, NRO, or FCNR accounts held with Indian banks. Direct wire transfer from your Canadian bank account to a builder is not permitted under FEMA regulations.

3

Power of Attorney (POA)

If you can’t visit India, a registered POA to a family member or our trusted legal partner allows them to sign documents, complete registration, and manage the entire process on your behalf.

4

Repatriation of Funds

Up to 2 properties can have sale proceeds repatriated to Canada. Proceeds go to NRE account β†’ Canadian bank. FEMA allows full repatriation if purchase was through NRE funds.

5

Tax in India

Long-term capital gains (2+ years) taxed at 12.5% without indexation. Short-term at slab rate. Rental income taxed after standard deduction. TDS applicable β€” your CA can file for refund if excess deducted.

6

Tax in Canada (FBAR/CRA)

CRA requires you to declare foreign property over CAD $100,000 on T1135. Rental income must be declared β€” but India-Canada DTAA prevents double taxation. Always consult a cross-border CPA.

About Royals

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

I was nervous about investing from Toronto without visiting. Manindar Ji and his team handled everything β€” VR tour, legal check, registration, and even tenant setup. My 3 BHK in Zirakpur now pays rent every month without me lifting a finger.

We bought a 4 BHK on VIP Road for our parents. The whole process happened over WhatsApp and Zoom calls. RERA was verified, title was clean, and possession happened on the exact date promised. That’s rare in Indian real estate β€” Royals delivered.

FAQ

Questions Canadian NRIs
Ask Us Every Day

Yes, absolutely. Indian passport holders (NRI) and OCI cardholders can purchase residential and commercial property in India without any RBI permission under FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act). The only restrictions are on agricultural land, plantation property, and farmhouses β€” residential flats and apartments have no restrictions.
No. With a Power of Attorney (POA) executed at the Indian Consulate in Toronto or Vancouver, your representative in India can handle signing, registration, and all documentation. Our VR tour system lets you view properties interactively from Canada. Many of our clients have completed the entire process β€” from shortlisting to possession β€” without visiting India once.
Under FEMA, all property payments must go through your NRE (Non-Resident External) or NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) account held at an Indian bank. Transfer from your Canadian bank β†’ NRE account β†’ builder. Direct CAD transfer to a builder is not permitted. We help you navigate the exact banking process step by step.
On purchase: Stamp duty 5–6% + Registration 1% of property value (same as any buyer). On rental income: Standard 30% deduction allowed, then taxed at applicable slab. On sale: Long-term capital gains (2+ years holding) taxed at 12.5% without indexation. TDS of 20–30% is deducted at source on sale β€” you can claim refund by filing ITR. India-Canada DTAA prevents double taxation β€” consult a cross-border CPA.
Yes. Most major Indian banks β€” SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis β€” offer NRI home loans up to 80% LTV. You need: Indian income proof or overseas income proof, NRE/NRO account, Indian CIBIL score (if any), overseas bank statements, and valid visa/passport. EMI can be paid from NRE/NRO account automatically. We assist with bank introductions and documentation.
If the cost of your Indian property exceeds CAD $100,000, you must file Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) with the CRA each year. Rental income earned must also be declared in Canada β€” but the India-Canada Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) ensures you receive credit for taxes paid in India. We strongly recommend working with a Canadian CPA experienced in cross-border taxation.
