Repatriation Documentation.
When an NRI, OCI or foreign shareholder sells property or shares in India, moving the money abroad needs the right bank, tax and FEMA paperwork. We prepare the documents your AD bank asks for, including the chartered accountant's certificate and the income-tax remittance forms, and check the repatriation conditions before the sale so that funds are not held up in an NRO account.
Typically 1–2 weeks after the sale once tax deduction certificates and bank statements are available. Lower deduction certificates and inheritance cases add time.

Repatriation Documentation, step by step.
Typically 1–2 weeks after the sale once tax deduction certificates and bank statements are available. Lower deduction certificates and inheritance cases add time.
- 1
Check eligibility
We confirm how the asset was acquired and paid for, because repatriation of property proceeds is linked to the amount originally paid in foreign exchange and limited to two residential properties.
- 2
Tax computation
We compute the capital gains and the tax the buyer must deduct under section 393(2) of the Income-tax Act, 2025 (section 195 of the 1961 Act), and apply for a lower deduction certificate where it helps.
- 3
FEMA reporting
For share sales between residents and non-residents we file Form FC-TRS on FIRMS. For property, we assemble the sale deed and payment trail.
- 4
Remittance forms
We arrange Form 146, the chartered accountant's certificate that replaced Form 15CB, and file Form 145, which replaced Form 15CA, on the income-tax e-filing portal.
- 5
Bank submission
We submit the request to your AD bank and track the remittance from your NRO or NRE account.
What we need from you.
