Overview
Overview
For individuals living abroad, Indian tax liability turns on residential status for the year — a determination that depends on days of stay and other conditions — and on whether income accrues or arises in India.
We determine residential status, identify Indian-sourced income, evaluate relief under the applicable Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement and advise on repatriation and property transactions.
Who this is for
- Non-resident Indians with income in India
- Individuals relocating to or from India
- NRIs selling property in India
- Overseas Citizens of India with Indian investments
