NRI Finance Tax

FCNR(B) is not paracetamol for every NRI fever.

Before asking, “Is FCNR good?”, ask whether it is right for you.

Watch the reel.

The Indian tax file was closed.
The foreign tax question had not even begun.

That is the NRI reality many people discover late.

A property in India.
Rent credited to NRO.
TDS deducted.
Indian return filed.
Everything looks complete.

Until someone abroad asks:

“Where have you reported this Indian asset?”

This is why NRI decisions cannot be understood in fragments.

The NRI is living one financial life across more than one country.

But very often, the advice reaches him in pieces.

For the last many months, I have been quietly working on a plain-English book around this gap — the mind, money and law behind India decisions for NRIs, Indian-origin families and the advisors who guide them.

Today, three original teaching ideas at the heart of this work received trademark protection.

A quiet milestone.

More on this journey soon.

When FEMA met real life — in Kochi

🚀 A FEMA-powered workshop — straight from Kochi!

Designed and delivered by me, this was the first batch of a pan-India training series for HDFC Life on NRI taxation, FEMA, and real-world repatriation challenges.

💼 Participants came from across Kerala.

📘 We cracked case studies, clarified DTAA rules, and solved practical NRO/NRE dilemmas — together.

Thank you to everyone who made this an incredible experience.
This is just the beginning.

Can You Buy a Dubai Flat on EMI from India?

Dream home in Dubai on EMI?
That’s a FEMA violation waiting to happen.

Under FEMA Section 6 and the 2022 Overseas Investment Rules, any deferred payment or EMI agreement abroad = a capital account transaction.
And unless routed through the LRS (USD 250,000 per year), it’s not allowed for resident Indians.

Yes, the Enforcement Directorate is already sending notices.
Penalties can go up to 3× the value, and properties may be attached.

🎯 Don’t sign or swipe before checking FEMA compliance.
