Official-contact checks, payment controls and document hygiene for remote transactions.

Official-contact checks, payment controls and document hygiene for remote transactions.

What to know

Begin every conversation from an official website contact and verify any change through a second published channel. Never pay into a personal account, act on urgency alone or send sensitive KYC through an open form.

Match the project, promoter, unit, beneficiary and receipt on every step. Preserve the full communication and payment record and use independent legal and tax advisers.

This guide is general information only. Confirm eligibility, documents, payment, tax and registration requirements with qualified advisers and the relevant authorised dealer bank.

Practical next steps

  • Confirm your exact buyer category and the project record.
  • Request current unit information, a complete cost sheet and draft transaction documents.
  • Use official payment instructions and preserve the complete banking trail.
  • Keep independent legal and tax review separate from the sales process.
