Non-resident Indians, overseas citizens of India and Indian businesses going global deal with three overlapping sets of rules: foreign exchange law, Indian income tax, and the company law of the country where an entity is set up.
On the foreign exchange side, the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 and its rules decide what a non-resident may invest in, how property may be bought or sold, and how money can be taken out of India. Under the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-Debt Instruments) Rules, 2019, an NRI or OCI can generally acquire residential or commercial property in India but not agricultural land, plantation property or a farmhouse, except by inheritance. Under the RBI’s directions on remittance of assets, an NRI can generally remit up to USD 1 million per financial year from NRO balances and sale proceeds of assets, subject to tax compliance.
On the tax side, the Income-tax Act, 2025 has applied from 1 April 2026, replacing the Income-tax Act, 1961 for later years. Residential status decides what income is taxable in India, and double taxation avoidance agreements (DTAAs) can reduce or relieve tax where the same income is taxed in two countries.
For outbound business, Indian residents investing abroad follow the Foreign Exchange Management (Overseas Investment) Rules, 2022, while the formation and upkeep of the foreign entity follow the law of that jurisdiction.
Foreign entities are incorporated by registered agents or professionals in that jurisdiction. Expertvuw assists with documentation and coordination, and approvals rest with the relevant authorities.
Generally no. Under the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-Debt Instruments) Rules, 2019, NRIs and OCIs may acquire residential and commercial property, but agricultural land, plantation property and farmhouses cannot be purchased without specific approval. Such property can, however, be acquired by inheritance. State land laws may add further restrictions, so each transaction should be checked individually.
As per the RBI’s current directions on remittance of assets, an NRI or PIO can generally remit up to USD 1 million per financial year from NRO balances, including sale proceeds of assets, through an authorised dealer bank. Banks usually ask for a tax certificate and an undertaking. Amounts above this limit generally need prior RBI approval.
An NRI generally needs to file a return if total income taxable in India exceeds the basic exemption limit, or to claim a refund of tax deducted at source. Income such as rent, capital gains or NRO interest can create this obligation. From tax year 2026-27, the Income-tax Act, 2025 applies, and the exact thresholds should be checked for the relevant year.
A Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement is a treaty between India and another country that allocates taxing rights and provides relief where the same income is taxed in both countries. Relief may be through lower withholding rates or credit for tax paid. Claiming treaty benefits generally requires a tax residency certificate and related forms, and the terms differ from treaty to treaty.
A flip is a restructuring in which the Indian company becomes a subsidiary of a newly formed foreign holding company, often to meet the preferences of overseas investors. It involves overseas investment rules under FEMA, tax consequences for Indian shareholders and share swaps or transfers. The costs and approvals involved vary, so it is usually evaluated carefully before investors are approached.
