You need not have an Aadhaar Card as you are an NRI. Your passport and PAN Card details are sufficient for registration of the sale deed. If you are not able to be physically present in India, you may appoint a close friend or relative as your power agent to sell the property. In such a case, the power agent's Aadhaar details are necessary.

not at all

you are not even required to show any proof of residence

since you are an OCI, the buyer will have to deduct full TDS @20% from the sale price

you can claim refund of that TDS by filing your IT return in India provided you are entitled to such a refund - like when you have invested the sale proceeds in purchase of a residential house in India or have purchased government bonds, then you are not liable to pay any capital gains tax and TDS already deducted can be claimed as a refund

1. Before Aadgar Card came into force the registrations of properties used to be conducted based on PAN card only.

2. Thereafter Aadhar Card has been introduced which based on which PAN no. can be traced.

3. Since you have not applied for Aadhar card but have PAN Card, you can register your sale deed based on the said PAN card and also the OCI Card.

1. Aadhar Card will not be insisted for OCI Card holders as Sellers of the immovable properties.

2. If there is any other document such as Bank Passbook, indicating the local address, then that would suffice.

If you are selling the immovable property as a resident Indian then you may have to provide documentary evidences to prove the same.

If the PAN card contains the Indian address, then it may be considered as a valid document for identifying you as an executant of the registered sale deed in favor of the buyer.

If you don't have proof for Indian residential address then you may have to produce the Passport which will clearly identify you either as a resident Indian or aforeigner.

If you are a NRI or a foreign citizen then you may have to pay the capital gains taxes accordingly as applicable to NRI

You don't need any aadhar card or proof of residence for selling any property in India. Your passport, Pan card and OCI card will suffice.

- Since you have PAN Card , then it will work as the identity proof , and the property paper in your name can be considered as address proof

- Hence, these two documents are enough to execute the sale deed for transferring the property in the name of buyer.

- Further, your OCI Card /passport is for showing the country of residence if needed.
