14 September 2011 In one of the case the party is developing flats and for that it has
received money in foreign currency from A (NRI) through proper banking
channels. However the sale deed is to be made in the name of B (also
NRI) as per the instruction of A. Can he do so and dose it involve any
violation of FEMA?

24 September 2011 This will not fall under FDI.

The sender can give an indemnity and an authorisation letter to the Indian company to register the sale deed in favour of B.

The authorised dealer can also be informed about this change by NRI A.

29 September 2011 Under the general permission of RBI an NRI can make investment in the residential property.

Money has to be remitted through the following means :
(1) Normal banking channel
(2) Or held in his Non resident account.

A gift of immovable property from NRI to NRI is also permissible.

In your transactions however there are few issues.
Since the sale deed is to be registered in the name of B it is sale to B. [for which money was not remitted as specified in the regulations].
If it gift from A to B. How can A gift to B a immovable property which he does not own. As this is direct transfer to B.
