Overview of NRI Tax Residency Rules and Income Tax Act, 2025 Provisions
Indian tax rules for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) clarify that tax liability depends on residency status, determined by days spent in India and income sources. NRIs pay tax only on income earned in India, with exemptions under Section 115G for certain investment incomes. The upcoming Income Tax Act, 2025, maintains existing residency and filing criteria, including specific conditions for Indian citizens working abroad. Discussions on capital gains and securities transaction taxes continue among investors and officials.
