Why Commercial Over Residential

Commercial Delivers 4โ€“6x Residential Yield

01

6โ€“15% Yield vs 2โ€“3% Residential

Indian commercial real estate consistently delivers gross yields of 6โ€“15% against residential's 2โ€“3%. On โ‚น1 Cr investment: commercial earns โ‚น6โ€“15 lakh annually; residential earns โ‚น2โ€“3 lakh. The income differential over a 10-year hold is compounding.

02

5โ€“9 Year Leases โ€” Predictable Income

Commercial leases are structured for 5โ€“9 years with lock-in clauses, rental escalation (15% every 3 years standard), and security deposits (3โ€“6 months). This income predictability is structurally unavailable in residential โ€” which faces annual churn and vacant months.

03

GST Input Credit โ€” Reduces Effective Cost

If you are a GST-registered business or invest through a company, the 12% GST on commercial property purchase is claimable as input tax credit. Your effective acquisition cost drops by 12% โ€” a benefit entirely unavailable in residential property.

04

GCC Boom โ€” Structural Demand Driver

India's Global Capability Centre count grew from 300 to 500+ between 2020-2026. Each GCC requires 50,000-5,00,000 sqft of Grade A office. This is a multi-decade structural demand driver โ€” not cyclical โ€” creating the most reliable institutional tenant pipeline in Indian commercial history.

05

Tenant Pays CAM โ€” Zero Running Costs

Commercial tenants pay Common Area Maintenance (CAM) charges in addition to rent. Unlike residential (where the landlord maintains the property), commercial landlords collect rent while tenants pay maintenance. Net yield equals gross yield minus only property tax.

06

REIT Benchmark โ€” Built-In Exit Valuation

Embassy Office Parks REIT (Bangalore), Nexus Malls REIT, and Brookfield REIT are active on NSE. Their valuations benchmark Grade A commercial property pricing for your exit โ€” providing institutional transparency on resale value that residential lacks entirely.

NRI Buyer Guide

How NRIs Buy Commercial Property in India

โœ… FEMA โ€” Free to Buy

NRIs can purchase any commercial property in India under FEMA. No RBI approval, no ownership cap, no restrictions. Funds must route through NRE, NRO, or FCNR accounts only. No cash transactions permitted.

๐Ÿ’ธ NRE Account โ€” No LRS Limit

Payment from NRE accounts has no LRS (Liberalised Remittance Scheme) limit. Only NRO accounts have the USD 250,000/year LRS cap. Use NRE for commercial property โ€” no annual remittance ceiling on investment.

๐Ÿงพ GST โ€” 12% on Under-Construction

12% GST on under-construction commercial property. Zero GST on completed/secondary market commercial. GST-registered buyers can claim full input credit โ€” reducing effective acquisition cost by 12%.

๐Ÿ”‘ POA โ€” Remote Purchase Available

Power of Attorney allows complete remote purchase without visiting India. IA Wealth coordinates POA documentation, RERA verification, and property registration on behalf of all NRI buyers from Dubai.

๐Ÿ“Š Rental Income Tax โ€” India + UAE DTAA

Indian rental income is taxable in India at slab rate. India-UAE Double Tax Avoidance Agreement prevents taxation of the same income twice. Rental income declared in India need not be re-declared in UAE.

๐Ÿ’ผ Repatriation โ€” USD 1M Per Year

After selling, NRIs can repatriate up to USD 1 million per financial year from sale proceeds in NRO account. Larger amounts require RBI approval. Capital gains tax paid in India before repatriation.
