I am planning to buy property in India - I will convert my dollars and buy it in Rupees. If I decide to sell this property later on, how can I convert Rupees back to Dollars ? so I can it to USA?
Did any one have experience doing this ? I read online that you can do this using some new RBI guidelines but I am not sure how this works
Also, let me know how does this impact from Tax prospective

Copying text from other thread where a member posted this info.
I did a transaction recently with a hope that i can get funds back to USA after selling in future.
I tried sending money by choosing 'Foreign direct investment in to real estate' as reason but it was returned because the bank could not take money in to personal account (apparently receiving party should have a company of sort to use this code). Instead i wired money to seller putting reason as 'towards purchase of a plot @address' and saved all the transaction records for future reference. I believe i can use these wire details for future repatriation of proceeds of sale from real estate. It needs a good CA who knows this process and bank's help to get clearance from RBI.
The transaction clearly falls under allowed repatriation eligibility (possibly subject to annual limit of 1 million dollars or so) but only thing is paperwork is needed.
