The UAE dirham is pegged to the US dollar, at AED 3.6725 to US$1. Since 2017 the rupee has fallen against the dollar, and so against the dirham, so money held in Dubai has grown in rupee terms.
US dollar
₹65 → ₹93
+43% since 2017
UAE dirham
₹17.7 → ₹25.4
+43% since 2017
Currencies move both ways, and past movement does not guarantee future returns. The gain counts when money is converted back to rupees, and Indian tax rules apply. Figures compare 2017 with 2026 so far. Exchange rates: Reserve Bank of India yearly averages, 2017 to 2025; 2026 is the average from January to early November. Rupees per dirham = rupees per US dollar ÷ 3.6725, the fixed peg.

A guide, not a valuation. Floor, view, unit position and the payment plan all move the price, and new phases of a project often launch at higher prices than earlier ones. We check the exact unit for you before you book.

Up to USD 250,000 per person per year, through Form A2, straight to the developer’s escrow account.
20% above ₹10 lakh a year. It isn’t a cost: you claim it back against your income tax.
Off-plan is registered by the developer (Oqood). With a power of attorney, you don’t need to fly in.
4% of the price, plus small admin and title deed fees.
Declare it in Schedule FA every year. UAE rent is taxable in India for Indian residents.

Short answers. Rules change, so we confirm the details for your case, and you should check tax points with your chartered accountant.
Yes. Foreigners, including Indians, can buy freehold homes in Dubai’s designated areas. If you live in India, you send the money through your bank under the RBI’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS): up to US$250,000 per person each financial year (April to March), using the purpose code for buying property abroad.
Family members who are co-owners can each use their own limit. Pay only from your own funds, by bank transfer: cards can’t be used to buy property abroad. We help you line up each payment with your bank.
When you send more than ₹10 lakh in a financial year under LRS for investment, including property, your bank collects 20% TCS (tax collected at source) on the amount above ₹10 lakh.
It isn’t an extra tax. It shows in your Form 26AS and is set off against your income tax for the year, and any excess is refunded when you file your return. Plan the timing with your chartered accountant.
Payments for off-plan homes in Dubai go into the project’s escrow account, regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The developer can draw from it only as construction progresses.
Your purchase is registered with the Land Department (Oqood), so your ownership is on record from the start. Before you book, we check the project’s registration and escrow account for you.
If you live in India, FEMA does not allow you to borrow, in India or abroad, to buy property outside India, so plan to pay from your own funds. Developer payment plans spread the payments over construction; check with your bank and chartered accountant that your schedule fits FEMA and your LRS limit.
If you are an NRI living abroad, UAE banks do lend to non-residents, mainly on ready homes, and we can introduce you to mortgage advisers.
Your contract with the developer (the SPA) sets the expected handover date and any grace period. The Land Department tracks construction progress, and if a project is cancelled, refunds from the escrow account follow its rules.
Before you book, we show you how far the project has been built and what your contract says about delays.
Usually, yes. Most developers let you sell (assign) an off-plan unit once you’ve paid a minimum share of the price, often 30% to 40%, with their written consent and a transfer fee.
The rules differ by developer and project, so we check them for you before you book.
After handover we can arrange a licensed property manager to find tenants, register the lease (Ejari), collect rent and handle maintenance, or set the home up as a licensed holiday home.
The UAE doesn’t tax rental income. As an Indian resident you declare it in your Indian tax return, and the India–UAE tax treaty can help avoid double tax; your chartered accountant will advise.
Owning Dubai property worth AED 2 million or more can make you eligible for the UAE’s 10-year, renewable Golden Visa, for you and your family. Ready and off-plan homes can both qualify, and more than one property can count towards the total.
The rules for mortgaged and off-plan homes changed in 2026, so we check your case against the Land Department’s current rules before you buy. Our founders hold Golden Visas themselves and take you through the application.
