The checks a Gurgaon broker runs before risking his own money — written for someone buying from 7,000 miles away on a video call and a builder's word. Free, buyer-side, no builder commissions.
Most NRIs don't lose money in India because they made a bad bet.

The remaining seven are the ones that quietly cost the most.
"Pre-launch" and "soft-launch" projects are usually not HARERA-registered — which means no RERA protection, no escrow on your money, no legal recourse if it stalls.
30-sec check: search the project + builder on haryanarera.gov.in (Gurugram bench). Not listed = the single brightest red flag. Treat it as speculation, not a safe buy.A missing mutation (Intkaal) means a past sale was never recorded — a gap in the ownership chain you'll inherit.
Check: ask for the title chain + latest mutation; verify on the Haryana land-records portal. No clear chain → no purchase.Legitimate projects have a DTCP/GMDA licence, CLU (Change of Land Use), and an OC/CC at handover. "Approval applied for" ≠ approved.
Check: ask for the licence number + CLU; no OC means you legally can't occupy.Drop your details below. You'll get the full 10-flag PDF instantly by email, and — if you'd like — a free callback at a time that suits your timezone. No spam, no builder pitch.
