Over 1.8 lakh Indians received Canadian PR in the last two years, and a large share are now anchoring family wealth back home. Pune has become their first choice: Rs 1.2 Cr buys a 2.5 BHK in Baner that would cost CAD 900,000+ as an equivalent Toronto condo. Prop Assist's NRI desk (MahaRERA A52100047490) helps you buy directly from developers — new launches, under-construction, or ready-with-OC — at zero brokerage, managed entirely across the 10.5-hour Toronto–Pune time gap.
Pune's fundamentals are unusually strong right now. The city absorbed over 8 million sqft of office space in 2025, driven largely by Global Capability Centres — the same employers many Canada-based NRIs worked for before migrating. Metro Line 3 connecting Hinjewadi to Shivajinagar is in trial runs, compressing the IT-corridor commute to under 40 minutes and lifting Balewadi–Baner pricing to Rs 11,500–14,000 per sqft. The new airport terminal at Lohegaon has doubled passenger capacity, and Pune Ring Road land acquisition is largely complete, opening up Wagholi and Hinjewadi Phase 3 for the next appreciation cycle.
Equally important: MahaRERA discipline. Every project we recommend carries a registration number, a locked completion date, and escrow-protected payments — the accountability layer Canadian buyers expect. Typical NRI tickets from our Canada clients run Rs 1.2 Cr to Rs 3.5 Cr, concentrated in Baner, Kharadi, Hinjewadi, and NIBM Annexe.
You do not need to fly down to buy well. Our process is built for the time-zone gap:
Funding flows from your NRE or NRO account via normal banking channels, keeping the purchase fully FEMA-compliant and future repatriation clean.
We share a single checklist on day one so nothing stalls at registration:
For home loans, Indian banks lend up to 80% to NRIs at roughly 8.4–8.8% in 2026; add Canadian income proof (T4 slips, employment letter, 3 months of pay stubs). Many of our Canada clients structure co-ownership with parents in India, which simplifies POA logistics and succession planning — we advise on the right ratio at the agreement stage.
Buying from a developer as an NRI is tax-simple at purchase: you pay stamp duty (7% in Pune including metro cess and registration, capped registration at Rs 30,000) and 5% GST on under-construction units — the same as resident buyers. TDS obligations on your side arise mainly on future capital gains, not at purchase from a developer.
Repatriation is where planning matters. Sale proceeds of up to USD 1 million per financial year can be repatriated from an NRO account with a chartered accountant's Form 15CB and your Form 15CA filing. The India–Canada DTAA ensures you claim credit in Canada for taxes paid in India, avoiding double taxation on the same gains. If the property is funded fully from NRE remittances, repatriation of the principal is even more straightforward. Our desk connects you with CAs who handle 15CA/CB filings for a flat fee, so your CAD-to-INR-to-CAD loop stays fully documented.
Prop Assist (Bluerock Enterprises LLP, MahaRERA agent A52100047490) is led by Vineeth Gopalakrishnan, with 15+ years in luxury real estate and 300+ closed transactions from our Aundh office. Because we are compensated by developers — disclosed to you upfront — you pay us nothing, and our incentive is to close the right home, not the fastest one.
For Canada clients specifically, we run: dedicated WhatsApp and Zoom slots between 8–11 pm EST; a single relationship manager from shortlist to key handover; negotiation on your behalf (our clients typically secure Rs 200–500 per sqft better than walk-in pricing plus payment-plan flexibility); POA coordination with our legal partner; loan tie-ups with three NRI-focused banks; and construction-progress video updates every quarter until possession. One point of accountability, 15,000 km away, working on Pune time so you don't have to.
Yes. Video site tours, developer video calls, and a notarised-and-apostilled Power of Attorney let you complete shortlisting, booking, and registration entirely from Canada. Many of our clients see the home in person only at possession.
NRE funding is cleaner if you plan to repatriate money later, since the principal came from foreign remittances. NRO works too, but repatriation then falls under the USD 1 million annual limit with Form 15CA/CB. We help you decide before the booking amount moves.
Yes, and it is a popular structure among our Canadian PR clients. Co-ownership with resident parents simplifies registration logistics, bank loan processing, and long-term succession. The ownership ratio should mirror the funding split for clean FEMA compliance.
Add roughly 7% stamp duty and registration, 5% GST on under-construction homes, and Rs 3–6 Lakh typically for society formation, infrastructure charges, and legal fees. On a Rs 1.5 Cr home, plan for an all-in figure near Rs 1.68–1.72 Cr — with zero brokerage to Prop Assist.
Developers pay us a marketing fee, which we disclose transparently. Your price is the same or better than walking into the sales office directly — we negotiate using our transaction volume, and our RERA registration A52100047490 keeps us fully accountable to you.
