Tax on Investment Income

Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) investing in India may have tax and compliance obligations in respect of income earned from their Indian investments. Such income may include capital gains from shares and securities, capital gains from property, rental income, interest, dividends and other investment income.

The tax treatment depends on various factors, including the nature of the investment, period of holding, residential status, date of transaction, applicable income tax provisions and, where relevant, the provisions of an applicable Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA).

KPD & Associates provides professional NRI Investment Tax Advisory in Mumbai, helping NRIs understand the tax implications of their investments in India and comply with applicable tax requirements.

Tax on Listed Securities for NRIs

NRIs can invest in eligible Indian listed securities subject to applicable FEMA, RBI and securities market regulations.

When an NRI sells listed shares or securities, the resulting gain may be taxable in India as either a Short-Term Capital Gain (STCG) or Long-Term Capital Gain (LTCG), depending on the type of security and applicable holding-period rules.

The applicable tax rates can vary depending on the nature of the security and the date of transfer. Therefore, historical rates should not be used for current transactions without checking the applicable law.

Capital Gains Tax on Residential and Commercial Property

NRIs investing in Indian residential or commercial properties should consider the tax consequences at the time of sale.

NRI Rental Income Tax

Rental income earned from property located in India is generally taxable in India under the applicable provisions relating to Income from House Property.

The taxable amount is determined after considering permitted deductions under the Income-tax Act.

Depending on the circumstances, deductions may include the applicable standard deduction from net annual value, along with eligible interest deductions and other provisions.
