The situation
Selling from Dubai, without the flight
You don't need to be in India to sell. A Special Power of Attorney — signed in the UAE, Indian embassy / consulate attestation (the UAE is not a Hague country, so an apostille won't do), then adjudicated and registered in India — lets a trusted person sign the sale deed for you. The tax mechanics are the same as any NRI sale: TDS comes off the full sale value, so a lower-TDS certificate matters. See your numbers on the capital-gains & TDS calculator.
The UAE side
How the sale looks from the UAE
This is the simplest corridor: the UAE doesn't tax the gain, so only India does. There's no second bill and no home-country return.
But India still taxes property gains
Unlike mutual-fund gains, immovable-property gains get no treaty exemption — the flat 12.5% (long-term) applies, so a lower-TDS certificate still matters.
Repatriate cleanly to the UAE
Proceeds move out within the USD 1 million window with 15CA/15CB — straightforward once the tax is settled.
Draft & legalise the POA in the UAE
We draft a Special POA and guide notarisation and embassy attestation where you are.
Adjudicate & register in India
Your POA holder stamps and registers it, then can sign the sale deed on your behalf.
Lower-TDS certificate & sale
We get TDS cut to your actual gain before completion, so cash isn't locked up.
Repatriate to Dubai
We file 15CA/15CB and move the proceeds out cleanly, within the limit.
Key things to know
Selling from Dubai — the essentials
What makes a remote sale safe, clean and tax-smart.
Use a Special POA, not a General one
A Special POA authorises only this sale, with proceeds to your NRO account. Never hand over a broad General POA. See our POA guide.
Your POA needs embassy attestation
Indian embassy / consulate attestation (the UAE is not a Hague country, so an apostille won't do). Executing it before the Indian consulate is the cleanest route.
A lower-TDS certificate frees up cash
Without it, TDS is taken on the whole sale value. With it, only on your gain — the difference can be tens of lakhs. See the lower-TDS service.

Selling from Dubai, answered
Can I sell my India property from Dubai without visiting?
Yes — through a Special Power of Attorney. Because the UAE isn't a Hague country, the POA needs Indian embassy/consulate attestation (not an apostille). We handle it.
How is the sale taxed for a UAE resident?
Only India taxes it — the UAE has no capital-gains tax. India charges the flat 12.5% (long-term) and deducts TDS on the full sale value, so a lower-TDS certificate is well worth it.
How do I get the money to Dubai?
After tax, proceeds repatriate within the USD 1 million-a-year window with 15CA/15CB. We manage the tax, the certificate and the bank.
