Before you decide

Good to know.

India does not permit dual citizenship — acquiring another citizenship voluntarily ends Indian citizenship (Citizenship Act 1955, s.9).
A valuation report is required for the property, and the title deed carries a three-year no-sale annotation.
Government fees, taxes and valuation costs are payable in addition to the investment.
The investment cannot be sold for three years.
