Hi Sir, From 2022 to Jul'2024 , i was working abroad in one of the African location. I recently moved back to India in August 2024 . During my stint outside, I have opened an NRI account which was shared with my employer so that they can transfer my additional savings in the same . My bankers are telling me that i need to convert my NRI account to resident account as i have no intention to travel abroad again. This should be done with 180 days ie within February . I am yet to receive my final settlement , expected by Jun'25 . I am positive about it . My query to you is : 1. What is the process of requesting to bank or RBI for extention of this account ( being treated as NRI ) for another six months ? 2. Is there any other compliances I need to be wary of wrt FEMA and IT , given if the money is transfer to my regular resident bank account ( since I will be RNOR now ), i apprehend it will be treated as taxable income despite it relating to my work done during my tenue outside .

Ans: We can't express our opinion on the basis of incomplete info provided.
Please confirm, which NRI Account you have opened with Indian Bank ?
Is it NRE Account, NRO Account, FCNR Account or RFC Account. Conditions/ Restrictions are different in all these accounts.
However, best is to consult your bank to find out solution to your problem.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Hi sir my son is in 10th now he opts for iit and it woukd be challenging so i jave suggested him to go with bits and iiit too. In this case what are exams he has to go through At the same time he has taken kannada as 2nd language in 10th and wants to opt sanskrit in 11th and 12th for scoring purpose will be a wise decision as we have a option to answer the paper in english to please advise
Ans: For a 10th grade student aspiring to join IIT, BITS, and IIITs, understanding the complete examination roadmap and making strategic language choices is crucial for maximizing overall academic performance. Regarding language selection, switching from Kannada to Sanskrit in Classes 11 and 12 offers compelling advantages for scoring purposes. Sanskrit consistently demonstrates superior scoring potential compared to regional languages, with 2,758 students achieving perfect 100 marks in Sanskrit during recent CBSE examinations, significantly higher than other languages. Educational experts confirm Sanskrit's reputation as a "scoring and simple subject" with compact syllabi, straightforward question patterns, and high success rates, as evidenced by Karnataka students historically choosing Sanskrit for easy scoring compared to Kannada, English, or Hindi. The Sanskrit examination format includes multiple-choice questions with given options, fill-in-the-blank grammatical forms, and structured essay questions—all conducive to higher marks with proper preparation. Additionally, Sanskrit papers can be answered in English in many examination systems, eliminating language barriers while maintaining the scoring advantages. The strategic benefit extends beyond board examinations, as Sanskrit knowledge proves valuable for competitive examinations like UPSC, where it's considered among the most scoring optional subjects.

Recommendation: Your son should proceed with JEE Main and Advanced preparation while registering for BITSAT and researching IIIT-specific entrance examinations like UGEE. Switching to Sanskrit in Classes 11 and 12 is strategically wise given its consistent high-scoring potential, simplified examination patterns, and compatibility with English-medium answering, ultimately supporting his overall academic percentage crucial for engineering admission success. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
