About Kanav Arora
Kanav Arora writes kanavarora.io — independent analysis of the Indian property market for non-resident Indians (NRIs) and serious domestic investors.
He has worked in Indian real estate since 2020, entering the market during the COVID period — a turning point for the country’s residential property market. The site grew out of a simple frustration: most property “advice” online is either a sales pitch or a portal listing, and neither tells a buyer what will actually cost them money.
So the writing here follows one rule: facts and numbers over hype. Every guide names the downside a broker tends to leave out — the FEMA rule that blocks a purchase outright, the TDS that quietly erodes a sale, the “orchard” plot that can never legally be built on. The topics are the ones where the mistakes are most expensive:
- NRI property rules and FEMA compliance
- Capital gains, TDS, and repatriating proceeds out of India
- Infrastructure corridors — Mopa and North Goa, the Delhi–Dehradun belt, Dholera
- Due diligence — title search, Goa zoning, and the scams that target out-of-town buyers
A note on scope: kanavarora.io publishes research and education, not personalised investment, tax, or legal advice. Rules and rates change and individual circumstances differ — always confirm specifics with a qualified financial advisor, chartered accountant, or property lawyer before you transact.
