Property transactions comes under state government and not under central government. So every state can have their own rules.
Aadhar card is not required for OCI card holders.

Thanks
I did not apply for Aadhar card as I am an OCI holder but was concerned that when selling my condo in India should not face any issues. I hope their forms etc are user friendly with OCI holders etc

Watch out for the 10% LTCG Tax
There are more issues cropping up with the sale of a property and if you can verify, please do so. There is a 10% Tax on LTCG kicking in I believe after the 1st of April and you will lose that much for starters. They use to have a 3% Educational Cess and it is heading upwards too to a 4% level. All of this is new to me. But I am unable to give you all of the details as this hits the web. Apparently 1st of April of 2018 seems to be a starting date.
So, watch out. Sell it if you can prior to the dead line.
Good Luck.
FH.

Sigh of relief. Hmmmmm .. LTCG of 10% Does not apply to R.E.Transactions.
Here is what I heard today. So, please verify the same as soon as you can.
Reason is.: That the Real estate Transaction is an illquid asset with low yields and high cost of sales transaction.
It is not so easy to find a buyer. Any real estate transaction can take minimum 3-6 months to complete
Rental yields are still very low. Which could be 2% - 2.5% at the most. Bank FDs give much higher yields than that
Last but not the least, the Cost of Stamp duty is at 5% plus, adds to the cost of transaction. If you are looking at
Real estate as an investment asset, the day you buy it, you are down by 6%. You need that much appreciation in
price to break even and that takes a long time in some cases.
Hope this clears the cobwebs and doubts.
FH.

It helps to have a real-estate agent to execute a sell-buy transaction. He takes care of all required formalities for a consideration of course(commission). Yes there is TDS for an NRI (Mumbai experience)
