Why Indian Nationals Should Choose UAE Real Estate

For Indian nationals looking to invest in real estate, the UAE offers a compelling alternative to India’s domestic market. With its tax-free environment, high rental yields, stable economy, and residency benefits, the UAE—particularly through developers like Taraf Holding—provides unmatched opportunities for financial growth and lifestyle enhancement. This article compares the benefits of investing in UAE real estate versus India, highlighting why Indian investors should choose the UAE and Taraf Holding’s premium properties.

Tax-Free Returns

The UAE’s tax-free environment is a game-changer for Indian investors. The UAE imposes no taxes on property purchases, rental income, or capital gains.

For example, rental income from Karl Lagerfeld Villas or Terra Golf Collection faces no deductions. In India, property transactions incur 5-7% stamp duties, annual property taxes, and capital gains taxes (20% long-term, 30% short-term), reducing returns (Emirates EBCS). These Taraf Holding projects, with their prime locations, maximize financial gains in a tax-free environment.

Higher Rental Yields in the UAE

The UAE offers rental yields of 6-10% in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, far surpassing India’s 2-4% in cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, or Delhi. For instance, a 1-bedroom apartment in Dubai’s JVC can yield AED 60,000-80,000 annually. High demand from expatriates and tourists drives UAE yields, while India’s oversupply in certain markets depresses returns (Moneycontrol).

Karl Lagerfeld Villas in Meydan and Terra Golf Collection in Jumeirah Golf Estates offer rental yields of 6-10%. A 5-bedroom Karl Lagerfeld Villa could generate AED 300,000+ annually.

Market and Currency Stability

The UAE’s real estate market benefits from a stable economy and a currency (AED) pegged to the US dollar, shielding investors from inflation and currency fluctuations. The UAE’s market is projected to grow at 2.25% annually through 2029, offering steady capital appreciation.

Golden Visa: A Unique UAE Advantage

Investing in UAE property worth AED 2 million or more grants Indian investors a Golden Visa, offering 5- or 10-year residency without a sponsor. This allows families to live, work, and study in the UAE, a benefit India’s real estate market cannot offer.

Investing in Karl Lagerfeld Villas or Terra Golf Collection grants a Golden Visa, as the value of some of its units make it eligible for the Indian investor to apply for a golden visa.

Superior Lifestyle and Infrastructure

The UAE offers a world-class lifestyle with modern infrastructure, top-tier healthcare, international schools, and unmatched safety—Dubai is among the safest cities globally.

Karl Lagerfeld Villas, with fashion-inspired design, and Terra Golf Collection, set against a championship golf course, provide Indian investors with luxurious homes.

Ease of Ownership and Transparency

The UAE’s freehold areas allow Indian nationals to own properties outright, with a streamlined purchasing process.

Taraf Holding simplifies the UAE investment process with resources like their “Guide to Real Estate’s Sales Purchase Agreement (SPA) in Dubai,” ensuring transparency and ease for Indian investors.

Strong India-UAE Ties

The UAE’s cultural and economic ties with India, including a large Indian diaspora (over 3.5 million) and bilateral trade agreements, create a welcoming environment for Indian investors. In 2023, Indian nationals invested $335 million across 123 projects in Dubai, reflecting confidence in the market.
Taraf Holding’s focus on Indian investor needs, through tailored projects and clear communication, strengthens this connection.

Why Taraf Holding’s Projects?

Karl Lagerfeld Villas in Meydan: 51 ultra-luxury villas with iconic design, offering high yields and Golden Visa eligibility (Taraf Holding).
