I have been employed in Nepal , am I considered NRI if I stay in nepal for more than 182 days ? I go to nepal thru immigration from airport and have Nepal PAN and as indians dont need work visa in nepal but registration in indian embassy I too have same .

Ans: Dear Vinod,

Thank you for writing.

I will be able to help with the generic viewpoint. I will recommend you to reach out to a Tax/ Legal and understand in depth. There are experts in these areas you could speak to.

From the last update on September 2021 as per the definition cited by the experts- an NRI (Non-Resident Indian) is generally defined as an Indian citizen who is residing outside India for employment, business, or any other purpose that indicates an intention to stay abroad for an indefinite period. However, the specific criteria for being considered an NRI can vary based on the laws and regulations of the Indian government, particularly with regard to taxation and other legal aspects. To determine your residency status for tax purposes and other legal matters, you should refer to the Income Tax Act of India and consult with a qualified tax professional or legal expert. Also, note the tax laws and regulations are subject to change hence speak to the expert in this area and get the understanding.

Hope this helps. All the very best

To Your Success. Be You. Be Confident
Thanks and Regards

Hi. I am currently 29. Married with no kids. Wife not earning. Planning for a kid this year. Monthly earning 60k post tax. Have savings of 2 lakhs. Have personal loan of 9 lakhs. Monthly expenses 40k including emi's. I have lost interest in job and I don't want to work anymore. I want to do business which can give monthly 50 to 60k income. Max I can invest 2lakhs. Is there any business which I can start with 2 lakhs and generate monthly income of 60k ? I am frustrated with working under an employer. I want to start my own venture. Please suggest.
Ans: Spandan, pause before you mail the resignation.

Your maths
60 k take-home
40 k spends (15 k of that is EMI on a 9 L loan)
→ 20 k buffer

A newborn will nudge monthly costs up by 8-10 k. Cash cushion shrinks fast.

So the plan must earn while you learn, not leap blind.

Keep the paycheck six more months.
Use evenings to test micro-ideas. Risk stays capped at ?0 for now.

Choose a “cash-this-month” niche, not a moon-shot.
Pick work that turns inventory ≤ ?50 k into sales inside 30 days.

Tiffin + office snacks (two dishes, 40 boxes) - ?25 k utensils, ?10 k FSSAI, ?5 k flyers - ?120 per box × 40 = ?4.8 k /day

Amazon / Flipkart reselling (phone cases, cables) ?40 k stock, ?15 k ads 25 % net margin on ?2 L monthly sales = ?50 k

Weekend print-on-demand & personalised gifting kiosk ?45 k heat-press kit (other options are there too) ?300 profit per mug × 200 pcs → ?60 k Bring Your Mug - Take Away Memories.

Local social-media management for clinics & salons ?0 gear, ?3 k Canva Pro ?8 k-?12 k per client; 6 clients hit target

None need heavy staff or rent. All can run beside your day job.

Set one simple goal: ?15 k profit by Day-30.
Hit it twice, raise target to ?35 k. Only when side income beats salary three months straight do you quit.

This is critical - Plug leaks early. Refinance personal loan to longer tenor; shave EMI to ~?10 k.

Park 1 L of savings in an emergency account—no touch.Skill up tiny, daily.
Watch a YouTube on ad copy, take a WhatsApp course on GST filings. Low cost, immediate payback.

Start small, sell fast, reinvest every rupee. Freedom comes, but by steps, not by one loud jump.
