The practical picture from Australia
Calling & timezone
Australia is ahead of Kolkata, so your evening is our afternoon — a comfortable window for both sides.
Currency
Transfers are planned from Australian Dollar (AUD) into your Indian accounts.
Payment route
Through your NRE / NRO / FCNR accounts via normal banking channels.
Tax treaty
India and Australia have a double-taxation avoidance agreement (DTAA), which can prevent the same income being taxed twice.
Why NRIs from Australia buy in Kolkata
Sydney and Melbourne have fast-growing Bengali communities with active ties to Kolkata.
- A long-term India asset while you build in Australia.
- A home for parents back in Kolkata.
- Rupee diversification and rental potential.
- A base for eventual return or visits.
How we handle it while you're in Australia
The distance is our job to manage. We shortlist verified, Sidus-scored projects, send video walkthroughs, produce a personalised memo with the all-in cost, and coordinate a lawyer for title and Power of Attorney and a CA for tax and repatriation. You get a single named point of contact reachable in your timezone — and if you visit during Puja or the winter, we build a site-visit day around your dates.
