Understanding NRI Tax Status in India
Your tax obligations in India depend on your residential status.
If you qualify as an NRI:
- You are taxed only on income earned or received in India
- Foreign income is not taxable in India
- PAN–Aadhaar linking is not mandatory if your status is updated correctly
Keeping your residential status updated on the Income Tax portal is crucial to avoid compliance issues and penalties.
Global Compliance: CRS & FATCA
To prevent tax evasion, global systems like:
- CRS (Common Reporting Standard)
- FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act)
enable automatic exchange of financial information between countries.
This means your financial data may be shared across jurisdictions, making transparency and accurate reporting essential.
Property Transactions for NRIs in India
Tax on Property Sale
When an NRI sells property in India:
- Property held for more than 24 months → Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG)
- LTCG tax rate → 12.5%
- Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) → taxed at applicable slab rates
