COMPLIANCE NOTES -

1) Form 15CA / 15CB (India – outward remittance documentation)
Form 15CB is NOT always mandatory. It is event-based and generally required only when the remittance (or aggregate remittance) exceeds ₹5 lakh in a FY AND an accountant certificate is required.

2) Purpose Code for Dubai property remittance (Bank SWIFT wire under LRS)
For “Indian investment abroad – in real estate”, RBI purpose code is commonly shown as: S0005.

3) TCS on Foreign Remittance (LRS) – what to keep as proof
Keep TCS proof / collection evidence and reconcile it later in your tax records (credit/refund mechanism depends on your case).

4) Dubai Off-Plan: Escrow account discipline (buyer protection logic)
Off-plan buyer payments are deposited into a project “real estate escrow account” as per DLD framework; stick to RERA/DLD-approved escrow only.

5) UAE file discipline (audit-ready “Shield Folder”)
Keep: SPA, booking form, payment receipts, SWIFT copies, escrow confirmation (off-plan), Oqood/Title Deed (as applicable), NOC (if required), service charge clearance (ready), plus A2 + 15CA/15CB + TCS proofs.

6) Clean transfer rule (best practice compliance)
Remit via bank (SWIFT/wire). Keep payer/owner alignment and clean narration with purpose + property reference (helps explainability during bank/IT queries).
