Yes, as an OCI cardholder, you can buy commercial and residential properties in India. These are the official guidelines, which are issued by the Reserve Bank of India. However, if an OCI cardholder wants to purchase agricultural or farming land the it is not possible for them because the Indian government does not allow OCI cardholders to purchase agricultural or plantation lands.
