Nevertheless, a large share of NRIs (non-resident Indians) and HNIs (high net-worth individuals) do not wish to invest in the Indian property market. 78% of them have their own reasons to look towards overseas property markets. The recent woes in the banking sector have further dented their confidence to invest in India. They also feel that property prices in India are too high, compared to the overall value proposition on offer.
Inconsistency in government policies, ever increasing taxation and defaults in the delivery of properties, are making NRIs and HNIs quite apprehensive. NRIs remittances back home are mostly limited to family expenses, than any long-term investment now. Poor rental return has been cited as another reason, to stay away from the Indian property market.
