I believe it is similar in US - a person on work permit is resident (>182 days) for Taxation but is considered a foreign resident for other purpose (needing work permit Visa and not having permission to run business or apply for Govt job/schemes)

[@prakashchandnani6695]

Many NRIs falls under condition 3, who are employed overseas but I think though it will be treated as Resident for tax purpose but it will be categorized as RNOR under which Foreign Income will not be taxable in India.

[@hab5024]

The 3rd category was confusing to me. To fall in under the 3rd condition, a person needs to meet all of those listed under or at least one of them would put he/ she under the 3rd condition?

I am an NRI (UK Passport) living permanently outside India. Plan to start visiting India for 3 months in a year once I retire (90 days Max) Dec, Jan, Feb - primarily to escape Cold weather in UK. Plan to do that until I can keep traveling from Age 62 to 70 .... every year & then decide where to "permanently settle" India or UK. The above NRI description is confusing - Will i be considered a "Resident" for TAX purpose if I stay in India only 90 days / year?

I think there is an ambiguity in Point #3 for PIO earning in India greater then 15 lac per year. 6A act mentions if Indian citizen or pio is liable to pay tax in his own country then 120 days is not applicale it is 182. Which means only after staying 182 days not 120 days in India person becomes resident in India.

[@sonicjetson6253]

Mr. Sriram, thanks for the informational video covering the convoluted laws. I am NRI but due to covid I was stuck in India and ended up spending entire FY 2021-22 (i.e Apr 1, 21 to Mar 31, 22) working from India. I was receiving salary in US account(after taxes). I didn't file any tax returns in India. So can I file belated tax return now? I'm guessing the interest and penalty will be substantial and govt will eat away whatever I earned. Can I take benefit of DTAA?

Very informative session!! A few questions 1- IT Act is implemented by IT Dept. Who implements FEMA and how? 2 Like we file annual tax return, are there any returns to be submitted under FEMA and if so, to whom? What is the role of RBI and the bank with which we have account in case of FEMA?

[@sriramrao2514]

FEMA is implemented by Authorised Dealer (AD) Bankers (execution of transaction) as per mandate of RBI and RBI implements procedural aspects. Further, certain powers have also been given to ED (Executive Directorate) for the purpose of field work and investigation. No specific annual returns under FEMA apart from transaction based reporting, which would be done through AD bankers. In respect of bank accounts, AD bankers have to update KYC details from time to time and also execute certain transactions and collect required documentation for the same from parties.

[@sanm4836]

These 3 different criteria for a resident shows how much different departments are disconnected in India. Each one is working in a silo or its own compartment. Left hand does not know what right hand is doing

[@ksnarayanan5281]

Nope. Each department has its own purpose. You can't have same definition for everyone. Can Tax Law definition be applied to grant Aadhar ?

[@creativeidea53]

Lastly you have given 6 conditions in 2 and 3 conditions you have mentioned PIO will OCI also should be included there, as PIO cards are now converted to OCI from Sept 2014.

[@bobbyclair386]

@NRI Money Clinic, there is a mistake in the video. @21:34 Criteria 5 says "Must have come to India on any other purpose than visit" But in the table at @25:48 for Criteria 5, table says Purpose is not relevant. So which is it?

[@sriramrao2514]

In the given table, for item no 4,5 - if purpose is other than 1,2 and 3 then, whatever purpose that is irrelevant. That’s what it means…

[@Just_forfun9140]

Please do a video for NRIs from FEMA point view. A person born in India then becomes a citizen of another country years ago, can this person open NRO, NRE bank accounts without a PIO, OCI or an Indian visa, otherwise what is required.

Any information on Indian taxes for US rental income for Indian residents. What I heard is Gross US rent has to be reported for Indian income tax. Only deduction available is municipal tax. After that 30% standard deduction. Calculate Indian tax rate based on bracket and take credit for US taxes paid. But I am wondering how US taxes "paid" can be determined. US tax year runs from Jan-Dec. For India we could prorate the taxes from Apr-Dec based on the taxes paid the previous year. But for current year Jan-Mar, we still would not have paid US taxes, so do we just estimate it? Any comments welcome

[@jayaramanramakrishnan3251]

question: US Citizen, OCI holder, visiting every year for 120 days, ie. previous financial year 120 days, preceding 4 years 480 days ( greater than 365 days), only visiting and returning back to US, so 'not purpose based - ie. setting up business, not employment, not returning to India to settle down', what is the status from Tax perspective ( NRI, Resident or RNOR)?TIA.

No, your interpretation is incorrect…. I have explained all conditions correctly in this video… if I have to talk technically, there are only 3 condition in act Section 6(1)(a), 6(1)(c) & 6(1A) and for one of the condition 6(1)(c), there are 2 exceptions (as per explanation 1(a) & 1(b)) and the 2nd exception [1(b)] has two limbs/branches… when all these are segregated, one will have 6 conditions… Further to elaborate the condition no 5, if an individual who is not falling within any of the purposes as mentioned in condition 1, 2 & 3, will directly fall into condition 4 or 5 as explained in this video….

[@jpbhartia1741]

These conditions will clash with many OCI s who are already paying taxes in their country of residence. Even if Indian IT authorities consider a person covered by any of the above conditions, the authorities in his country of residence will also be demanding tax from him . Please enlighten with clarity in such cases

[@pathkris2984]

What is considered the definition for visit? In criteria 5 for example, you mention - that one must have come to India on any purpose other than a visit. And in this case, if the stay exceeds even 60 days, (and the other 4 year lookback) - then the person becomes a resident. How does the IT department determine what a person has come to India for? And if the IT department classifies such a person as a resident, what proof is required to show that the person was indeed on a visit and he is not a resident as he didn't exceed the 182 days period (rather than the 60 day period)? What kind of proof is required to prove a visit if a dispute arises?

[@sriramrao2514]

Intention has to be established by documentary evidence… if one resigns job/retires/closes his lease agreement and comes to India, it signifies that he comes permanently… so each circumstance has to be seen with documentary evidence…. If a person is continuing with his job and comes on leave of definitive period, with return ticket booked, continuing with residential lease agreement abroad etc... signifies that one has come on a visit to India...

[@pathkris2984]

@@sriramrao2514 I wish the law was unambiguous, like for example the 182 day period, 15 lacs threshold etc. Once the law gets into ambiguous territory, like intent, purpose of visit etc, it gets murky. There are many situations when peoples life change. Say a retired person of Indian origin wants to visit India every year for about 5 months and go back, there is no job he has in this case. If government decides one way (say a resident) it becomes difficult to rectify and follow up. If someone wishes to maintain a NR status, so in my opinion, he/she should not exceed the stay of 90 days in a year forever, so that cumulatively the total stay does not exceed 365 days over the past 4 year lookback period. That way the "visit" type clause because irrelevant as it could never apply. But thank you for clarification in this regard.

If I understood you correctly, then you are coming on visit and hence the applicable rules are 2&3… if u are not resident as per 2&3 then do not verify 4&5, directly check whether you are resident as per 6, if not then you would be non-resident only…

@@sriramrao2514 Yes, Sriram, the screens 4 & 5 and the summary table match. I was wrong. It will be a great help to the OCIs if you can kindly answer my second question. That is: If I qualify as a Resident per purpose based criteria number 2 (column 2), when I sell my house in India, is it as if a resident is selling and therefore the buyer has to deduct a TDS of only 1% vs 20% ? Thanks.

[@sriramrao2514]

@@kanjira48 yes, TDS would be @ 1%… but tax liability is different from TDS and the same needs to be fullfilled

I went to Canada on PR (Permanent Residency) on 29 June 2022. So in November will I be considered as a Resident or NRI? Please answer

[@sanm4836]

On that date in November, ask yourself: did I stay in India for 182 days or more. out of last 365 days? If answer is yes, then you are not NRI If the answer is no, then you are NRI. Simple. Note that since you continue to live in Canada, so at some date in Nov or Dec your answer will change to No, and then you will become NRI from that day.

A foreign citzen holding a oci card and living outside india ，Is he to be considered as a NRI ??

[@NRIMoneyClinic]

Yes

[@AdyaMohanty-to1se]

Hi can you clarify what if an NRI stays more that 182 days and I have paid full tax in the other country where I am getting salary (17% of my income) . Will I have to pay further taxes in India or since I have paid tax already in the source of income country I will be exempted.

[@prakashchandnani6695]

You will have to pay lesser tax in India, applying DTAA by showing your TRC of that country and taking tax credit on that income and in some DTAA its mentioned that if you don't fall in 3 conditions simultaneously than you don't have to pay tax in India. So ready DTAA abt Salary Article. But ITR will be complicated. You must show that salary in exempt income (if allowed in dtaa) and must report all your foreign bank account/assets holding etc.
