Gaur Yamuna City — NRI Buyer's Overview

Township facts — what is publicly verifiable

The following facts are drawn from publicly available RERA registration data and search-verified sources as of June 2026. Do not rely on these figures for a financial decision without verifying them against the current RERA project page and the developer's registered documents.

Township overview

• Developer: Gaursons Realtech Private Limited (Gaur Group / Gaursons India), registered office at Gaur Biz Park, Plot No-1, Abhay Khand-II, Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, UP (per UP RERA records)
• Location: Sector 19, Yamuna Expressway, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh
• Township master plan: Designed by RSP Singapore (per publicly available marketing material — verify from developer's official documents)
• Total area: Approximately 250 acres (101 hectares) — making it one of the larger townships on the Yamuna Expressway
• Product mix: Residential apartments (1 BHK to 4 BHK), independent villas (Victorian Villas series), residential plots, studio apartments, and commercial / retail components
• Reported township features: 9-acre lake park, international school site, hospital, multiple clubhouses — confirm from developer's current master plan, as township amenities are delivered in phases

RERA registration — by phase

Because Gaur Yamuna City is a multi-phase township, each sub-project has its own UP RERA registration number and its own RERA-declared completion date. One RERA number has been confirmed directly from UP RERA public records. All other phases have their own separate registrations — verify each at up-rera.in before booking.

Location — Sector 19, Yamuna Expressway

Gaur Yamuna City is located at Sector 19 on the Yamuna Expressway in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The Yamuna Expressway is a 165 km, 6-lane access-controlled highway connecting Greater Noida to Agra, with multiple interchanges serving the YEIDA planning zone.

Proximity to Noida International Airport (Jewar) — honest status

• Airport status as of June 2026: Noida International Airport (IATA: DXN) opened for domestic operations on 15 June 2026. Domestic flights by IndiGo and Akasa Air are operating.
• International operations: Targeted for the winter schedule (around late October 2026); not yet operating, with no airlines or routes confirmed.
• Distance from Sector 19: Approximately 20–30 km by road from the Jewar terminal — a 25–35 minute expressway drive under normal conditions. Sector 19 is further from the airport than Sector 22D. Confirm exact distance from a current map.
• Delay context: The airport originally targeted 2022 operations. It opened approximately four years late. Metro connectivity to the Sector 19 area is planned but not yet operational — verify current status with NMRC/NCRTC.

Other key reference points

• Eastern Peripheral Expressway — approximately 7.5 km from the township (per third-party portal; confirm from map)
• Yamuna Expressway — approximately 0.5 km from the township boundary (per third-party portal; confirm from map)
• Buddh International Circuit — within 10–15 km range
• Greater Noida city centre — approximately 30–35 km
• Delhi (Nizamuddin) — approximately 65–70 km via Yamuna Expressway

NRI & OCI eligibility — can you buy?

Important nuances for a large township like Gaur Yamuna City:

• Confirm the specific phase is RERA-registered: Not every sub-project in a large township may be currently RERA-registered. The law requires registration only for projects above a certain size threshold. Verify before booking.
• Plots vs apartments: Builder-allotted residential plots within a RERA-registered plotted development are generally permitted for NRI/OCI purchase. However, confirm the specific plot product with your FEMA advisor — the status of a builder plot vs a government-authority plot is treated slightly differently in practice.
• Ready-to-move vs under-construction: Several phases in Gaur Yamuna City are already delivered or near-ready. For a delivered unit, there is no construction risk — but verify the Occupation Certificate (OC) and Completion Certificate (CC) have been obtained from YEIDA before registering.

Payment for NRIs — accounts, channels, TDS

Permitted funding accounts

• NRE account: Funded from foreign earnings. Fully repatriable. Preferred for maximising repatriation flexibility on future sale.
• NRO account: Rupee income received in India. Repatriation capped at USD 1 million per financial year after taxes.
• FCNR account: Foreign-currency term deposit. Treated like NRE for property purchase purposes.

All payments to the developer must be in INR via NEFT/RTGS. No cash, no foreign-currency remittance directly to the builder account.

GST on under-construction units

If the unit you are buying is under construction (Occupation Certificate not yet issued), GST applies at 5% of the base sale price (for residential units) — effective from April 2019 onwards, with no Input Tax Credit. This is additional to the BSP. Ready-to-move units (OC obtained) are exempt from GST. Confirm the GST applicability for your specific unit.

Stamp duty and registration in UP

Stamp duty in Uttar Pradesh is approximately 5% for women buyers and 6% for men (subject to change — verify current UP state rates at the time of purchase). Registration charges are additional. Stamp duty is paid from NRE or NRO account.

TDS on resale

When you sell as an NRI: TDS at 12.5% (long-term, held more than 24 months, effective 23 July 2024, plus surcharge and 4% cess) or 30% (short-term). Obtain a Lower Deduction Certificate if your actual tax liability is lower. DTAA benefits may apply. Consult your CA before transacting.

Risks & honest assessment — read before booking

1. Multi-phase township — not all phases are equal

Earlier phases of Gaur Yamuna City have been delivered (making them ready-to-move). Later phases are still under construction. The delivery risk profile, RERA-declared completion date and escrow balance differ phase by phase. Do not assume that because one phase was delivered, all phases will be. Verify the specific phase's RERA quarterly filings and escrow balance before booking.

2. Township amenity delivery is phased

Amenities like the lake park, international school, hospital and metro connectivity are township-wide promises that depend on overall project pace and third-party investments (e.g. the school operator, hospital operator). Some may take significantly longer to materialise than the residential towers.

3. Location is further from the airport than Sector 22D

Sector 19 is approximately 20–30 km from Jewar airport — further than Sector 22D. Buyers who are specifically buying for airport proximity should note this distance difference. Sector 22D projects like Eldeco EOE are meaningfully closer to the terminal.

4. Secondary market liquidity

A large township with thousands of units can create competitive supply in the secondary market when multiple sellers list simultaneously. Resale timelines and price discovery can be less favourable than in a smaller, tighter project. Factor in potential 6–18 month liquidity timelines for resale.

5. Unlisted developer

Gaursons Realtech Private Limited is not publicly listed (unlike the Eldeco Group parent). Audited financials are not publicly available. This does not mean the developer is unreliable — Gaur Group has delivered multiple phases across the township — but it means you have less financial transparency than with a listed entity. Review the RERA quarterly reports at up-rera.in, which do require financial disclosures.

6. No guaranteed returns

Past price movements in the Yamuna Expressway corridor do not guarantee future performance. No specific price-appreciation figure is cited on this page as a forward-looking projection for Gaur Yamuna City. Market conditions, infrastructure delivery timelines and broader economic factors will determine future values.
