FAQ

NRI & FEMA FAQs

Answers to common questions about NRI taxation, FEMA regulations, and cross-border compliance in India.

Yes, NRIs must file an income tax return in India if their total income from Indian sources exceeds ₹2.5 lakhs in a financial year. This includes income from rent, investments, capital gains, or any business operations in India. Even if tax has been deducted at source (TDS), filing a return may help in claiming refunds or declaring exemptions under DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement).

FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act) regulates all foreign exchange transactions in India. NRIs engaging in real estate, business investments, or fund repatriation must comply with FEMA provisions. This includes RBI reporting, obtaining necessary approvals, and structuring transactions through NRE/NRO accounts appropriately.

Yes, repatriation is permitted under FEMA guidelines, subject to specific limits and documentation. We help you repatriate income like rent, dividends, sale proceeds of property, or inherited assets—while ensuring tax compliance, RBI approval (if required), and banking documentation are all in place.

NRE (Non-Resident External) accounts are used to park foreign earnings in India, fully repatriable and tax-free in most cases. NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) accounts handle income earned in India (like rent, dividends, pensions), and are subject to taxation. We advise clients on optimal account structuring based on their income sources and repatriation plans.
