The checklists and references NelaZo advisors work from, written up for buyers. Read each one here; the older guides are also available as a PDF to keep.
Karnataka focus
The five checks that decide whether a project and its promoter hold up: RERA, title and encumbrance, statutory approvals, delivery history, and litigation. Includes the red flags that should stop a booking.
For NRIs and OCIs moving back
RNOR and why it is worth two to three years of planning, what to do with each bank account and by when, moving money and assets back, transfer-of-residence customs, and a first-ninety-days checklist.
Market briefing, 2026
A 2026 briefing on prices and the corridors carrying the growth, which infrastructure is actually happening versus announced, and how much completing a purchase now costs after the guidance value and registration changes.
Location guide
The two maps that decide where a returning family should live: where employment is concentrating in 2026, which campuses are new or expanding, and where the international and IB schools sit, so both commutes stay workable.
The full process
Shortlist to registered ownership, done from another country: what an NRI or OCI can buy, how the money must move, when you need a power of attorney, the checks that come before any booking, and how registration actually happens.
Money and payments
NRE vs NRO vs FCNR, what FEMA lets you use, how NRI home loans differ, the tax deducted when you buy, and the rules that decide how much you can repatriate if you sell. The money side of an India purchase, in one place.
Dubai corridor
For Indians in the UAE: how to move dirhams into an India purchase, the NRE and NRO setup to do first, how to view and verify a Bangalore project from the Gulf, and the tax questions specific to a no-income-tax country.
For NRI owners selling
The buyer withholds tax on the whole sale price, not the gain, unless you hold a lower-deduction certificate. How that works, how capital gains and Section 54 exemptions apply to NRIs, and the Form 15CA/15CB route to move the money out.
Investing in Bangalore
Start with what the property is for, then see where the return actually comes from, which corridor fits your goal, the five numbers to run before you fall for a flat, and how to plan the exit on day one.
Investing in Bangalore
Gross yield is not what you keep. A worked example of rent turning into net income, how rental income is taxed for an NRI, why tenants deduct about 31 percent at source, and how to get the money out through your NRO account.
Buying trends, 2026
The price on the brochure is no longer the price you pay, demand is moving outward, and the paperwork is digital. Five shifts that matter to a 2026 buyer, and what each one means for your decision.
Buying trends, 2026
A finished home gives you certainty and a higher price. A launch gives you a lower entry point and the risk of delay. Compare the two side by side and answer five questions to decide which fits you.
