Your Chennai property, managed while you're in Singapore or Australia.

Here, you're the one who's ahead. Your afternoon is Chennai's working day.

In short

Flourrish manages Chennai property for NRIs in Singapore, Malaysia and Australia. We find and verify tenants, collect rent, handle repairs with your approval and send monthly video reports. Your working day overlaps with ours, so updates and approvals usually happen the same day.

Time difference

What time is it in Chennai?

Chennai is two and a half hours behind Singapore and four and a half to five and a half hours behind Sydney. Your afternoon falls in Chennai's morning or midday, which works well for same-day updates.

India does not use daylight saving time, so the gap changes when your clocks change.

Everything we do for NRI owners

Money and tax

Rent from your Chennai property is generally taxable in India, and the tenant is generally required to deduct TDS. Australian residents are generally taxed on worldwide income; Singapore treats foreign income differently. India has tax treaties with Singapore, Malaysia and Australia. Your Chartered Accountant and local tax adviser should confirm what applies to you.

Flourrish can coordinate with qualified legal, tax and banking professionals where required. Professional advice should be obtained from the appropriate licensed advisor.

NRI tax basics on rental income

Is the time difference a problem?

Not really. Chennai is behind you, so your afternoon is our morning or midday. Most updates and approvals are sorted the same day.

Can you handle everything without me travelling?

Day-to-day management, yes. Some legal documents may need your signature or a Power of Attorney; we coordinate with lawyers if that's needed.

How will I know the property is in good condition?

You get a video walkthrough and photo report every month, plus photos whenever something changes.

Do you work with owners in New Zealand or elsewhere in Asia?

Yes. The service is the same wherever you live.
