NRI Taxation Services in India
Living abroad but still have ties to India? That often means dealing with Indian taxes, and let’s be honest, it can get complicated fast. Understanding your tax obligations as a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) is the first step to staying compliant and avoiding any headaches.
India taxes NRIs on income that’s earned or received within the country. This can include things like rent from a property you own in India, interest from your NRO accounts, or even capital gains from selling Indian stocks or property.
Figuring out your residential status for tax purposes is key. Generally, if you spend less than 182 days in India during a financial year, or meet certain other conditions related to your stays and ties, you might be considered an NRI. This status isn’t set in stone; it needs to be looked at each year.
Here’s a quick rundown of what we help with:
- Filing Your Indian Tax Returns: We take your Indian income, any deductions you can claim, and benefits from tax treaties, and put together your tax return. The aim is to make sure everything’s filed correctly and you’re not paying more tax than you need to.
- Determining Your Residential Status: We look at your travel history and other connections to India to figure out your official tax residency status. This is pretty important for how you’re taxed.
- Double Taxation Avoidance: India has agreements with many countries to prevent you from being taxed twice on the same income. We help you use these Double Tax Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) to your advantage and get the necessary Tax Residency Certificate (TRC).
- Investment and Repatriation Advice: Thinking about investing in India or bringing money back home? We can guide you on the rules and how to do it tax-efficiently.

Here’s a quick rundown of who should pay attention:
