Understanding When You Become an NRI and Its Impact on Financial Policies
The articles explain that becoming a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) is determined by tax residency rules based on the number of days spent in India during a financial year, not the actual departure date. Residency is assessed using two tests involving days spent in India over one and four years. Banks follow different criteria under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) for classifying NRIs, affecting policy payments and account management. Specific relaxations apply for those leaving India for employment abroad.
