Understanding NRI Status Under Indian Law
Residential status plays a crucial role in determining tax liability in India. As per the Income Tax Act, 1961, an individual’s taxability depends on the number of days spent in India during a financial year.
An individual qualifies as an NRI if:
They stay in India for less than 182 days in a financial year, or
They do not meet specified residential criteria defined under the Act.
Correct classification is critical because it determines:
Scope of taxable income
Eligibility for deductions
DTAA applicability
TDS implications
Reporting obligations
At Arpit Gupta And Co., we ensure accurate residential status determination to avoid compliance risks.
Taxation Scope for NRIs in India
NRIs are taxed only on income that:
Is earned or received in India
Accrues or arises in India
Is deemed to accrue or arise in India
Income earned outside India is generally not taxable in India for NRIs.
Common taxable income sources include:
Rental income from Indian property
Capital gains on property or shares
Interest from NRO accounts
Business income from India
Salary received in India
Dividend income
We help NRIs structure their income efficiently and ensure lawful tax optimization.
