FAQ
Questions South Africa-based NRIs ask us
Can I get a home loan without visiting India? +
Yes. Most lenders accept a notarized Power of Attorney (attested via the Indian High Commission in South Africa) along with digital or video KYC, so the process can be completed remotely, with physical presence typically needed only at final registration in some cases.
What's the minimum income required from South Africa? +
Most Indian lenders group South Africa with the USA and other non-Gulf countries under one income bracket, commonly around USD 3,500/month equivalent — roughly ZAR 65,000-68,000/month at typical exchange rates, though this varies by lender and loan amount.
Can I use my IRP5 and SARS records as income proof? +
Yes. Your IRP5 (annual employee tax certificate) from SARS, along with payslips and bank statements, are standard, widely-accepted income proof for NRI home loan applications from South Africa.
