WHO is NRI

An Indian residing abroad is popularly known as Non-Resident Indian (NRI). However, the term NRI has been defined in different ways under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA) and the Income Tax Act, 1961(IT Act).

 

NON RESIDENT UNDER FEMA:

A non-Resident of Indian is a person of Indian origin resident outside India who is either a Citizen of India or a person of Indian Origin is called NRI. RBI has further clarified that students studying abroad are also to be treated as NRIs under FEMA.

 

NON RESIDENT UNDER INCOME TAX ACT, 1961:
Under the Income-tax act, there are following types of the Resident:

1. Resident –Ordinary Resident
2. Resident but not ordinary resident
3. Deemed Resident
4. Non-Resident

Residential status as mentioned above is determined upon number of days a person is physically present in India. It is pertinent to note that person who are “Non-Resident”, “Resident but not Ordinary” and “deemed Resident” are liable to pay Tax only on their India Source of Income whereas a “Resident – Ordinary” is liable to pay tax on its global Income.

Resident –Ordinary Resident

As per General provision of the Act, an Individual is said to be Resident in India, in a financial years, if he/she:

1. is in India for a period of 182 days or more OR
2. has been in India for a period of 60 days or more in during the previous financial year AND 365 days or more during the 4 years preceding to previous year

Exceptions:

Regulation provide certain concession in number of the days stays in India to Indian citizen , person of Indian origin and Indian citizen who leaves India in any previous year as a crew member or for the purpose of employment outside India. The concession in stays in number of the days are as under:

• By substituting 60 days as mentioned in conditions (b) with 182 days in case of Indian Citizen who goes out of India as a crew member or for employment
• By substituting 60 days as mentioned in conditions (b) with 182 days if , Total Income of the Indian Citizen/Person of Indian Origin who visits India is less than Rs. 15 Lakh (other than foreign sources)
• By substituting 60 days as mentioned in conditions (b) with 120 days if , Total Income of the Indian Citizen/Person of Indian Origin who visits India is more Rs. 15 Lakh (other than foreign sources)

Meaning thereby , in case of Indian Citizen, person of Indian origin and crew member who left India for employment , instead of checking criteria of 60 days , criteria of 182/120 days need to test .

Resident but not ordinary resident

A person is said to be "Resident but not ordinary resident” in India, if such person is:

1. non-resident in India in 9 out of the 10 previous years preceding that year, or
2. during the seven previous years preceding that year been is in India for a period, 729 days or less; or
3. Citizen of India, or a person of Indian origin, having total income, other than the income from foreign sources, exceeding Rs. 15 lakh during the previous year, and who has been in India for a period of more than 120 Days and less than 182 days
4. A citizen of India who is deemed to be resident in India under clause (1A).

If any of the above conditions fulfilled, the person shall be treated as “Resident but not ordinary resident” otherwise “Resident –ordinary resident”.

Deemed Resident

Finance Act, 2020 has inserted a new clause (1A) to section 6 of the Income-tax Act. As per this new clause, an individual shall be deemed to be Indian resident under the new provision only when he is not liable to tax in any country or jurisdiction by reason of his domicile or residence or any other criteria of similar nature and its total Income from other than foreign sources exceeds Rs. 15 Lakh.

PERSON OF INDIAN ORIGIN (PIO)

A Person of Indian Origin (PIO) is simply a person of Indian origin who is not a citizen of India. However, for the purpose of acquisition and transfer of immovable property in India - PIO means a citizen of any country other than Bangladesh or Pakistan or Sri Lanka or Afghanistan or China or Iran or Nepal or Bhutan if –

• He at any time held Indian passport or
• He or either of his Father or any of his Grandfather was a citizen of India by virtue of the Constitution of India of the Citizenship Act, 1955.

Likewise, PIO for the purpose of investment of shares in India / opening non-resident account in India/ remittance of assets, PIO means a citizen of any country other than Bangladesh or Pakistan, if-

• He at any time held Indian passport or
• He or either of his parents or any of his grandparents was a citizen of India by virtue of the Constitution of India of the Citizenship Act, 1955 or
• The person is a spouse of an Indian citizen or a person referred to in above sub-clauses.

RETURNING NRI

A returning NRI would generally be assessed as a Resident (R) but NOR on his return to India. Up to financial year 2002-03, in a given specific situation, a returning NRI was assessed as a R but NOR on his return to India for nine years i.e. income earned on overseas assets or income accruing outside India (unless it is derived from a business controlled in or a profession set up in India) was not taxed in India for 9 years. However, with effect from financial year 2003-04, this particular benefit has been curtailed from nine years to two years i.e. income earned on overseas assets or income accruing outside India (unless it is derived from a business controlled in or a profession set up in India) would now be taxable in India from the third year itself. Accordingly, ‘A’ would now pay tax on his world income sooner than he would have hitherto done.

The impact of R but NOR status is that foreign passive incomes likes interest, dividend, royalty etc. would not be taxable in India in respect of a person who is R but NOR. Even share of profit of a partnership firm or any other business income would not be taxable in India, if the business in respect of which such income arises is not controlled from India. In other words, all foreign sourced income of a R but NOR is not normally taxable in India unless it is derived from a business controlled in or a profession set up in India uptill two years after his return to India.

Income accruing outside India would be taxed outside India as well in most cases in accordance with the tax laws of the foreign country and the Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) signed between India and the foreign country. He would be entitled to seek relief under the relevant DTAA i.e. avail credit for foreign taxes paid against income tax paid in India. However there are certain practical difficulties associated with the availing credit for foreign taxes paid such as a possible difference in accounting year of the foreign country and India.

Therefore Immaculate tax planning, in advance i.e. prior to return to India, holds paramount significance for NRIs intending to return to India. An individual who is non-resident for 9 consecutive years, shall remain RNOR for 2 subsequent years and as such his foreign income is not taxable in India while his status is that of RNOR. The status of RNOR renders certain income of such individual non-taxable as explained in Tax liability of NRIs

NRI who return to India for permanent settle in India, should know various aspects of Foreign Exchange Regulations (FEMA), Indian Taxation and Banking Regulations in order to rearrange his financial affairs in India and outside India.

When relocating to India, the following aspects should be taken care of:

• What is your residential status under:

Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999

The Income Tax Act, 1961

• Compliance of Baggage Rules in India regarding repatriation of overseas assets.

NRI LOWER DEDUCTION TDS CERTIFICATE

In the case of NRI, OCI and Foreign Resident on sale of immovable property in India, TDS/Withholding Tax   provisions have been specified u/s 195 of Income Tax Act. As per this section rate of TDS is 20%   of sale consideration if the property is long term capital assets or it is 30% of sale consideration if the property is short term capital assets.  As against such proposition under the law, generally on all property sale transactions actual tax liability of the seller is lesser than the proposed TDS amount.  To overcome blockage of funds,  with tax department, income tax law provide for lower deduction TDS certificate also known as TDS exemption certificate u/s 197 of the Act.  Such certificate can be obtained by way online filing  of form No. 13  to the jurisdictional officer alongwith requisite documents such as:-
