Asked before every booking. Answered in writing.

Neither. You buy a complete, individually registered residence inside a branded resort — a whole unit, not a share of one. The sale deed is executed and registered in your name (or your entity’s) under Indian property law, exactly as any freehold home would be. A timeshare sells you weeks; a club sells you access. This is freehold title to real property, with a lease attached that pays assured returns from day one of booking. The full structure is set out in why your capital is protected.

Yours. The sale deed registers the unit to you, or to the entity you nominate, at the sub-registrar’s office with stamp duty and registration paid — the same machinery as any Indian freehold purchase. Fine Acers does not hold the title on your behalf, and the operator never appears on it. Your ownership survives the brand, the operating company, and any future change of operator: whatever happens commercially, the asset on the deed is yours to keep, lease, or sell.

Projects are registered with the relevant state real-estate regulatory authority (RERA) where the law requires it. Registration is state-specific and project-specific, so each property carries its own status and registration number. We share the applicable RERA details, approvals, and title documentation for your shortlisted property as part of the diligence pack before you book — so your lawyer reviews primary documents, not marketing claims. Ask for the pack on a discovery call.

Your title is independent of the operator. The freehold registers in your name; the operating brand runs the resort under the lease framework. If the operating company were ever replaced, the deed in your name does not change — and the obligations under the lease sit with the Fine Acers side of the table, which carries every operating risk: occupancy, staffing, maintenance, marketing. This separation — asset in your name, operations on the operator — is the core of the sale-leaseback structure.

All three routes work under FEMA. Most NRI buyers pay through an NRE account or by direct inward remittance from their overseas bank, because principal routed that way remains freely repatriable. NRO funds can also be used, with repatriation subject to the standard FEMA ceiling. The right choice depends on where the money sits today and on your home-country tax position — we map it during diligence, and your bank executes it as routine NRI business. Corridor notes: Dubai, Singapore, London, Sydney.

Yes. Lease income credits your NRO account in India. After applicable Indian tax it is remittable abroad with standard banker certification, and NRO balances may be repatriated up to USD 1 million per financial year under current FEMA rules — far above what these ticket sizes produce in income. The mechanics are routine for any bank with an NRI desk. Confirm the current procedure and documentation with your bank and tax advisor before your first remittance.

India taxes the lease income because the property is in India — tax is deducted at source at the applicable NRI rate, and standard property-income deductions apply. Your country of residence then applies its own rules: the UAE levies no personal income tax, while the UK and Australia tax worldwide income but credit the Indian tax under their double-taxation avoidance agreements with India, so the same income is not taxed twice in full. We issue a tax-ready annual statement; your advisor confirms your personal position.

On purchase: state stamp duty and registration charges apply, and where you buy from a resident seller, tax of 1% is deducted at source on the consideration under section 194-IA above the prescribed threshold. On sale: capital gains tax applies, with the rate and any indexation depending on your holding period and the rules in force in the year you sell — confirm the current computation with your tax advisor. Sale proceeds then repatriate under the same FEMA framework as income, and we provide the documentation trail your accountant needs at both ends.

Yes. Under FEMA, NRIs and OCI cardholders may acquire residential and commercial property in India without prior approval — the restricted categories are agricultural land, plantation property, and farmhouses, none of which describes these branded residences. There is no cap on the number of residential properties an NRI may hold, and title registers in your name exactly as for a resident buyer. Corridor mechanics for Dubai, Singapore, London, and Sydney are mapped on their own pages.

Generally, a foreign national resident outside India cannot purchase immovable property in India — the FEMA route exists for NRIs and OCI cardholders. The exceptions are narrow: inheritance, certain categories of long-term residents in India, or specific Reserve Bank approval. Where a family spans passports, the practical answer is usually to hold through the family member with NRI or OCI status. Bring the specifics to a discovery call and we will tell you plainly whether a compliant route exists.

Joint holding between NRIs and OCI cardholders is straightforward and common — spouses typically register together. Joint holding with a resident Indian family member is possible in defined cases under FEMA, and the right structure depends on who funds the purchase and how succession should run. We see a handful of standard patterns and will walk you through them during diligence, with your counsel confirming the final shape before the deed is drawn.
