How can an NRI shortlist and buy a Lucknow property remotely?
Short answer
Step-by-step remote buying process
- Requirement call (30–45 min): end-use vs investment, budget in INR, timeline, city preference within Lucknow, financing plan.
- Shortlist: Ayana advisor sends 3–6 options with RERA UP status, LDA / UPAVP position, project stage and neighbourhood context.
- Video site visits: live walkthroughs of location, sample flat / plot boundary and surrounding infrastructure.
- Document pack: layout, RERA registration, builder-buyer agreement draft, price sheet, allotment / chain deed for resale.
- Independent review: your CA / lawyer reviews the docs; Ayana coordinates follow-up questions with the developer / seller.
- Booking: booking amount transferred through banking channels only; receipt and allotment letter shared digitally.
- POA + registry: notarised / apostilled POA to a trusted family member or representative; registry executed in Lucknow.
- Handover / rental setup: possession inspection, utility transfers and, if needed, rental support.
Documents an NRI typically needs
- Valid passport and visa / OCI / PIO card.
- Address proof (India + overseas).
- PAN card (mandatory for property transactions).
- NRE / NRO / FCNR account details for payments.
- Notarised or apostilled Power of Attorney if you cannot travel for registry.
- Recent salary slip / employment letter if you plan to take a home loan.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a Lucknow property without visiting India?
Yes. With a valid POA to a trusted representative and independent legal review, an NRI can complete a Lucknow purchase remotely. Ayana coordinates video visits and document exchange to keep the process transparent.
Which countries do you support NRI buyers from?
Ayana regularly assists NRIs from UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UK, USA, Singapore, Canada and Australia looking at Lucknow property. Advisory is over call, WhatsApp and email.
Is a POA mandatory for NRI property purchase?
Not always, but it is strongly recommended if you cannot travel. A specific, notarised / apostilled POA to a trusted person in India makes registry and follow-ups much easier.
How are payments made?
Payments should move through NRE / NRO banking channels directly to the developer or seller, following RBI / FEMA rules. Ayana does not accept client funds.
