Hi Andy,

You could well be correct, the 1908 act does use the term presented

For the benefit of the techys amongst us i paste the relevant sections.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Act, if in any case a document requiring registration has been accepted for registration by a Registrar or Sub-Registrar from a person not duly empowered to present the same, and has been registered, any person claiming under such document may, within four months from his first becoming aware that the registration of such document is invalid, present such document or cause the same to be presented. in accordance with the provisions of Part VI for re-registration in the office of the Registrar of the district in which the document was originally registered ; and upon the Registrar being satisfied that the document was so accepted for registration from a person not duly empowered to present the same, he shall proceed to the re-registration of the document as if it had not been previously registered, and as if such presentation for re-registration was a presentation for registration made within the time allowed therefore under Part IV, and all the provisions of this Act, as to registration of documents, shall apply to such re-registration ; and such document, if duly re-registered in accordance with the provisions of this section, shall be deemed to have been duly registered for all purposes from the date of its original registration :

Hi Andy,

I think people are getting their wires slightly crossed,
this is what FEMA says about Resident Fns .


2(v)
"person resident in India" means—

(i)
a person residing in India for more than one hundred and eighty-two days during the course of the preceding financial year but does not include—

(A)
a person who has gone out of India or who stays outside India, in either case—

(a)
for or on taking up employment outside India, or

(b)
for carrying on outside India a business or vocation outside India, or

(c)
for any other purpose, in such circumstances as would indicate his intention to stay outside India for an uncertain period;


(B)
a person who has come to or stays in India, in either case, otherwise than—

(a)
for or on taking up employment in India, or

(b)
for carrying on in India a business or vocation in India, or

(c)
for any other purpose, in such circumstances as would indicate his intention to stay in India for an uncertain period;

(ii)
any person or body corporate registered or incorporated in India,

(iii)
an office, branch or agency in India owned or controlled by a person resident outside India,

(iv)
an office, branch or agency outside India owned or controlled by a person resident in India;
2(w)
"person resident outside India" means a person who is not resident in India;



2v (A) (a)&(b) about taking up work outside India is (i think) where some people are getting confused but it dose'nt say anything about having an income from outside India whilst resident in India ......at least i have'nt seen it anywhere.

Cheers,
Remy

Hi Andy,

I think Remy has given you chapter and verse.

I did not word my post very well. What I meant was:

To buy a property you have to be a resident and by having employment outside of India excludes a person from having residency.

When we were buying, this was one of the things we were told by our advocate. I know Remy thinks I am confused but the word employment would normally mean salary. But I am sure someone will put me right if this is not correct.

No the real thing.

With our D of E investigation we were told by our Advocate we HAD TO BE RETIRED!!! It was news to us all. O>K> we qualified others did not.
We also had to prove how we could finance ourselves.

Wait for it now, chapter and verse. pass over the 'noffi

well we sure know where your priorities lie, dont we douglas!!!!
I'm an OMni girl myself lets start a new thread shall we, failing that stick to the thread in hand!!!!

Hi Noni,

Two main points here ,the concerned bodies are RBI (FEMA) and home dept (immigration). They can sometimes have conflicting requirements.

I wont do the techy bit as i have done it before, but the first point to grasp is that once resident under FEMA you are effectively indian as far as your personal finances are concerned.

As india has restrictions on the movement of money and people in and out of india, indian residents (FN or otherwise) cannot have jobs, investments etc outside india (or need express permission from RBI to do so). If they do these things, they are clearly not resident in india.

Once you understand their laws (FEMA in this case) and adopt the indian perspective, you can see how pissed off the authorities are when non resident FNs ( in some cases encouraged by indian developers and lawyers) establish enclaves of holiday homes in india.

The FRRO (gofors for Immigration (goa home dept) on the other hand in 2006 wrote to douglas (who was retired and only had one home in goa) and informed him that FNs should spend their retirement in their home country!

Clearly a change of policy on the part of immigration, as HCI london(immigration) earlier gave me an X visa to long stay in india knowing that i was retired!

I hope this explanation helps dispel some of the confusion.

kind regards
