Geo-Restrictions and IP Blocks for NRIs
NoRI Services, based in Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh, understands the difficulties NRIs face due to geo-restrictions and IP blocks when managing properties. Having supported by NRIs across 20+ cities, we’ve seen how these barriers disrupt essential payments and compliance.
From blocked access to government portals to failed verifications, NRIs struggle to manage properties remotely. NoRI Services provides local support to ensure you can handle payments and filings without delays or penalties in Andhra Pradesh.
Key Challenges NRIs Face
Geo-Restrictions and IP Blocks
Indian portals like the Income Tax Department’s e-filing site or Andhra Pradesh Property Tax portal often block foreign IPs for security. An NRI in Australia trying to pay property tax might be blocked, or face CAPTCHA issues that fail to load due to their foreign IP address.
Blocked Access
NRIs trying to access the property tax portal might be completely blocked due to their foreign IP, preventing payments.
Verification Failures
Flagged as suspicious, NRIs face failed OTP or CAPTCHA verifications, stalling income tax filings or property tax payments.
VPN Detection
Using a VPN to access portals might fail as some sites detect and block VPN IPs, leaving NRIs unable to proceed.
Dependency on Local Contacts
NRIs must coordinate with someone to complete payments, adding complexity and risks of mismanagement.
Case Study: Blocked Access in Tirupati
Mrs.Pavani, an NRI in Australia, tried to file Form 26QB for TDS on a property sale in Tirupati but was blocked due to his foreign IP. Using a VPN failed as the portal detected it, and he missed the deadline, incurring a ₹5,000 penalty. NoRI Services handled the filing locally, avoiding further issues.
