The practical picture from USA
Calling & timezone
Kolkata is well ahead of the US, so your evening is our next morning. We book calls for a time that works in your day — never the middle of your night.
Currency
Transfers are planned from US Dollar (USD) into your Indian accounts.
Payment route
Through your NRE / NRO / FCNR accounts via normal banking channels.
Tax treaty
India and the United States have a double-taxation avoidance agreement (DTAA), which can prevent the same income being taxed in both countries.
Why NRIs from the USA buy in Kolkata
Kolkata families are spread across the US — the Bay Area, New Jersey, Texas, the Midwest — and many buy back home for parents or as a long-term India asset.
- A long-term India asset while you build your life in the US.
- A secure, well-located home for parents still in Kolkata.
- Rupee-denominated diversification against a dollar portfolio.
- A base for an eventual return, bought at today's prices.
How we handle it while you're in USA
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.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy property in Kolkata from the USA?
Yes. NRIs in the US can buy residential and commercial property in Kolkata remotely, paying through NRE/NRO accounts and registering via Power of Attorney.
Will I be taxed twice, in India and the US?
India and the US have a double-taxation avoidance agreement that can prevent that. How it applies to you depends on your situation, so confirm with a CA.
