An Indian resident can buy a house overseas under the liberalised remittance scheme by making remittance of upto USD 200,000 per financial year.
FEMA also permits a person resident in India to acquire a house property outside India by way of gift or inheritance from a person resident outside India.
In addition, a person resident in India may hold an immovable property outside India acquired when the person was not resident in India (when he may have been working outside India).
