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.

Question by Narsingh - Feb 17, 2025Hindi

Money

Dear sir, I have been NRI since 1996, every year saying outside India for averaging 190 to 250 days. Salaried employee working wirh resident visa in Qatar. Now I want to retire. This year my LTCG from sale of debt fund was 14,80,000. I nay have around 45,000 dividends in India from shares. So, will cross 15 lakh Indian income. I have two questions: first if I do more than 120 days in India then I will become RNOR this year and can use my exemption limit of 3 lakh to offset LTCG of 2 lakhs. Is it correct? Second Question is if I do less than 120 days in India, my status this year too will remain NRI. So, if I NRI for all 29 years, will it give me an extra year of RNOR status in India? How to determine whether I will be RNOR for 2 years or three. 3 years RNOR gives me advantage to keep my most of money in RFC accounts to get tax free interest. Most of my savings are in FCNR accounts only. Suggest will I get 3 years RNOR after retirement or not by keeping NRI status this year or make this year RNOR and no loss.

Ans: 1st Yes, minimum exemption limit available to RNOR also.

2nd an individual who is a citizen of India who is not liable to tax in any other country will be deemed to be a resident in India, only if the total income (other than foreign sources) exceeds Rs 15 lakh and nil tax liability in other countries. So in your case, even if you are in for less than 120 days, you will be RNOR

3rd for FCNR account, please confirm with Bank
