Why Invest

Why Bangalore Retail Spaces Delivers Strong Returns

01

5 Million IT Professionals — India's Best Retail Catchment

Bangalore houses more IT and tech professionals than any city globally outside Silicon Valley. These professionals earn 3-5x the Indian average, spend heavily on F&B, lifestyle, and experiences, and create the highest retail spending density per square kilometre of any Indian commercial zone.

02

Metro Expansion — Retail Repricing

Bangalore's metro network expansion (Purple Line extension, Yellow Line, Green Line) is actively repricing retail on previously inaccessible corridors. Properties near upcoming stations in Bannerghatta, Thanisandra, and Whitefield are the highest-upside positions within Bangalore's retail market.

03

7.5-12% Yields — Outperform Residential by 4x

Bangalore residential yields average 2-3%. Retail in the Whitefield-Koramangala-Indiranagar corridor consistently delivers 7.5-12% gross. For NRI investors seeking income rather than just appreciation, Bangalore retail provides the most reliable income stream of any asset class in the city.

NRI Buyer Guide

How NRIs Buy Commercial Property in India

Complete guide — FEMA rules, GST, payment routing, legal ownership.

✅

FEMA — NRIs Can Buy Freely

Under FEMA, Non-Resident Indians can freely purchase commercial property in India (excluding agricultural land). No RBI approval needed. No ownership cap. Funds must route through NRE, NRO, or FCNR banking channels.

💸

Payment Routing — NRE to India

Transfer funds from your Dubai/overseas bank to an NRE account in India. Commercial property payment from NRE accounts carries no LRS limit (only NRO accounts have LRS constraints). Maintain a clear paper trail from the foreign source to the Indian account.

🧾

GST on Under-Construction

12% GST applies on the purchase of under-construction commercial property. Ready/completed commercial properties are exempt from GST. Factor this into total acquisition cost. Registered businesses can claim GST input tax credit.

📊

Rental Income Tax — NRI Obligation

Rental income from Indian commercial property is taxable in India at the applicable slab rate (for individuals) or flat 30% for NRIs without slab deduction on gross rent. India-UAE DTAA (Double Tax Avoidance Agreement) applies — avoid double taxation on the same income in both countries.

🔑

Power of Attorney — Remote Purchase

NRI buyers who cannot travel to India use a registered Power of Attorney to complete property registration. IA Wealth coordinates POA documentation, registration, and property inspection on behalf of NRI buyers.

💼

Repatriation of Sale Proceeds

After selling commercial property, NRIs can repatriate up to USD 1 million per financial year from sale proceeds (held in NRO account). Amount above this requires RBI approval. Capital gains are taxed in India before repatriation.

FAQ

Common Questions — Bangalore Commercial Investment

Yes. NRI buyers use a registered Power of Attorney (POA) to complete registration without being present. IA Wealth coordinates the POA process, property due diligence, and legal documentation remotely from Dubai. Most NRI buyers complete the full commercial purchase without a single India visit.

Pre-leased commercial: property already has a tenant in place, rental income starts from day 1, price is higher. Under-construction: lower entry price, no immediate income, higher capital appreciation potential over 3-5 years. Most NRI investors split — pre-leased for income, under-construction for appreciation. IA Wealth advises on the optimal mix for your return requirements.

GST (12%) applies only to under-construction commercial property. Completed/registered commercial property purchased from a seller (not a developer) is exempt from GST. If you are a GST-registered business, the 12% GST on under-construction commercial is claimable as input tax credit, effectively reducing your acquisition cost significantly.

Gross yields typically range from 6-10% in prime commercial locations. Net yield (after maintenance, property tax, and management fees) is typically 4.5-8%. Pre-leased commercial with 5-9 year lock-in leases provide the most predictable income. Grade-A office space consistently outperforms retail in yield stability.
