Invest from Sydney
Branded residence investment in India from Sydney.
For the Australian NRI, this is the India position that runs itself: freehold resort real estate with contractual returns from the day you book — managed entirely by the operator while you are eight thousand kilometres away.
Tickets ₹56 L – ₹13.51 Cr · 8–10% assured returns from day one of booking · 13% asset escalation every 4 years.
The Sydney–India corridor
How the money moves — and comes back.
Purchase funds remit from Australia in AUD through normal banking channels or via your NRE account, converting to INR at the prevailing rate. NRE routing keeps remitted principal freely repatriable; OCI cardholders — common among Australian-Indian families — buy on the same FEMA footing as NRIs for residential property.
Lease income credits to your NRO account in India. After applicable Indian tax it is remittable to Australia with banker certification, and NRO balances are repatriable up to USD 1 million per financial year under current FEMA rules. Specific limits and rates change — confirm the current position with your tax advisor before remitting.
Australia taxes residents on worldwide income, so the lease income is assessable in Australia — but the India–Australia double-taxation avoidance agreement credits Indian tax already paid against the Australian liability on the same income. Distance is the real design constraint, which is why the structure leaves nothing for you to operate.

Before returns: protection
The four safeguards, in writing.
-
Freehold title, registered in your name
You own the asset outright. The title deed is registered to you — not a club membership, not a timeshare, not a paper share of someone else’s building.
-
Sell anytime — no lock-in
There is no holding period. Your unit is yours to resell on the open market whenever you choose.
-
Buy-back guarantee at appreciated value
Fine Acers commits to buy your unit back at its appreciated value — a contractual exit, in writing, before you commit a rupee.
-
All operating risk carried by Fine Acers
Occupancy, staffing, maintenance, marketing — the operator carries the running of the resort. Your returns are contractual, not occupancy-linked.
The full structure, safeguard by safeguard: why your capital is protected · how the lease works: the sale-leaseback model.

The questions Sydney investors ask first.
Managing Indian property from Australia sounds hard — what do I actually do?
Nothing operational. The sale-leaseback structure puts occupancy, staffing, maintenance, and marketing on the operator — your role is owner, not landlord. Returns of 8–10% are contractual under the lease and begin from day one of booking, whether or not you ever visit. The distance problem is precisely what the structure is built to remove.
How does the purchase work from Sydney — do I have to fly over?
No. Payments remit in AUD through your bank or NRE account, KYC completes remotely, and an attested power of attorney prepared in Australia covers signing and registration. Fine Acers maintains an Australian contact point in Glenmore Park, NSW, and most conversations start on WhatsApp or a video walkthrough before anything moves.
How will the ATO treat the income?
As an Australian tax resident you declare worldwide income, including this lease income. India taxes it first via TDS, and the India–Australia double-taxation avoidance agreement credits that Indian tax against your Australian assessment on the same income — you are not taxed twice in full. We provide a tax-ready annual statement; confirm your personal position with your accountant.
Can OCI holders in Australia buy, and can our children inherit?
OCI cardholders buy residential property on the same FEMA footing as NRIs, so an Australian passport with OCI works identically. On succession, immovable property in India passes under inheritance law to your heirs — including foreign-national children — and ownership transfers with the lease attached. Estate specifics vary by family; we recommend a short session with counsel during diligence.
Is the flight realistic for actually using the resort?
Sydney–Delhi runs non-stop at approx 12.5 hours, with Jaipur an hour beyond; Goa connects through Singapore or Mumbai at approx 15–17 hours total. Australian owners typically fold resort stays into annual India trips — the complimentary holiday entitlement across the portfolio makes the long haul pay for itself, while the lease income never depends on your visiting.
