Returning NRIs Planning Package

Even after returning to India for permanent settlement, NRIs continue to enjoy many investment incentives under the Foreign Exchange Management Act,1999 [FEMA] and tax concessions under the Income-tax Act,1961.[I.T. Act]

Although, technically "Residents", how-so-ever FEMA treats returnee NRIs almost at par with NRIs as regards their foreign currency accounts in India and assets abroad. Under the I.T. Act also, most cases being "Not Ordinarily Resident", returnee NRIs continue to enjoy tax exemptions and tax concessions almost at par with NRIs for 2 to 3 years. They also enjoy the benefits of Dual Tax Treaty, where applicable.
