And that status is recalculated every single financial year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Income Tax Act, 2025, which applies from the 2026-27 tax year onward, changes the terminology but not the substance. The day-count tests, the 120-day threshold for high-income visitors, and the deemed residency provision all carry forward. What matters is understanding how those rules interact with the money an NRI actually earns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_residency_status_gets_decided\"><\/span><strong>how residency status gets decided<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The basic test is physical presence. An individual is a resident if they stay in India for 182 days or more in a tax year. There is a second route: 60 days or more in the current year combined with 365 days or more across the previous four years. For Indian citizens and persons of Indian origin visiting India, that 60-day threshold is replaced by 182 days&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/taxguru.in\/income-tax\/crossing-borders-crossing-tax-lines-residential-status-indias-income-tax-framework.html#1#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/taxguru.in\/income-tax\/residential-status-income-tax-act-1961-meaning-determination-judicial-interpretation.html#pcomments#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High earners face a tighter window. Indian citizens and PIOs with Indian income above \u20b915 lakh become Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident (RNOR) after 120 days. Crossing that limit does not make them full residents, but it does bring them into the tax net for Indian income&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/vakilsearch.com\/article\/nri-residency-rules-fy-2026-27\/#1#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/money\/residential-status-impacts-tax-on-foreign-income-of-nris-flying-home-4149746\/?utm_source=JDsocial&amp;utm_medium=Referral#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there is the deemed residency provision. An Indian citizen with Indian income above \u20b915 lakh who is not liable to tax in any other country is treated as a resident regardless of how many days they spend in India. Professionals based in the UAE, Bahrain, or Qatar run into this most often. They are classified as RNOR, not full residents&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/vakilsearch.com\/article\/nri-residency-rules-fy-2026-27\/#1#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/taxguru.in\/income-tax\/crossing-borders-crossing-tax-lines-residential-status-indias-income-tax-framework.html#1#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_capital_gains_on_shares_and_mutual_funds_are_taxed\"><\/span><strong>how capital gains on shares and mutual funds are taxed<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The holding period decides the rate.

Under Section 195, the buyer must deduct tax before paying the seller. If no lower-deduction certificate is obtained, TDS is often computed on the gross sale value rather than the net gain. A property sold for \u20b91 crore could see \u20b920 lakh or more withheld, even if the actual gain is far smaller&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/taxguru.in\/income-tax\/income-tax-capital-gains-nris-comprehensive-guide-finance-act-2025.html#respond#2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.rtulsian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ULTIMATE-USA-INDIA-TAX-GUIDE-FOR-NRIs-RTulsian-Co.-LLP-1.pdf#5#4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fix is Section 197.

If TDS has been deducted and the actual liability is lower, an ITR is the only way to claim a refund.

Selling an investment without understanding the TDS and capital gains treatment can result in excess tax being withheld and a long wait for a refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For returning NRIs, the RNOR window is the most valuable planning tool. Foreign income stays outside the Indian tax net for two to three years. Using that period to restructure foreign holdings can reduce future tax exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For NRIs with Indian investments, the key distinction is between NRE and NRO. Foreign earnings routed through NRE accounts stay tax-free. Indian-source income through NRO accounts does not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Is foreign income taxable in India for an NRI?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foreign salary, overseas rent, interest on a foreign bank account. None of it enters the Indian tax net for an NRI, because the tax is tied to the source of the income, not the nationality of the person earning it. The exception is narrow: money from a business controlled in India or a profession set up here can still be pulled in. But an NRI earning in Dubai and parking that money in an NRE account owes nothing to India on that income<a href=\"https:\/\/taxguru.in\/income-tax\/nro-interest-income-tds-deducted-itr-filing-required.html#respond#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.business-standard.com\/finance\/personal-finance\/exemption-limits-forms-income-tax-rule-changes-for-nris-this-year-125070801070_1.html#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. What is the tax rate on short-term capital gains for NRIs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">20%. That is the flat rate under Section 196 (formerly Section 111A) when listed equity shares or equity-oriented mutual funds are sold within 12 months. TDS comes off at the same rate before the money reaches the NRI. Worth knowing: NRIs cannot use the unused basic exemption limit to soften this, and the Section 87A rebate that makes income up to \u20b912 lakh tax-free for residents does not apply here at all<a href=\"https:\/\/taxguru.in\/income-tax\/nro-interest-income-tds-deducted-itr-filing-required.html#respond#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/trilegal.com\/news-insights\/news-insights-thoughtleadership-himanshu-sinha-selling-property-in-india-heres-how-nris-can-avoid-excess-tds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Why is TDS on property sales a problem for NRIs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three reasons stacked on top of each other. First, the buyer must deduct before paying. Second, if no lower-deduction certificate is obtained, the TDS is often calculated on the gross sale value, not the actual gain. Third, the difference between what was deducted and what is actually owed gets stuck until a refund is processed. A \u20b91 crore property sale can see \u20b920 lakh withheld even when the real gain is a fraction of that. The fix is Form 128 (previously Form 13), applied for before the sale, which brings the deduction in line with estimated capital gains<a href=\"https:\/\/vakilsearch.com\/article\/tds-certificate-for-nris-form-128\/#I_applied_for_Form_13_before_1_April_2026_Is_my_certificate_still_valid#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.rtulsian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ULTIMATE-USA-INDIA-TAX-GUIDE-FOR-NRIs-RTulsian-Co.-LLP-1.pdf#5#4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. What is RNOR status and how long does it last?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RNOR sits between NRI and full resident. It is for people who have returned to India but have not spent enough time here to be fully integrated. During this window, typically two to three financial years, Indian income is taxed, but foreign income stays outside the net. Foreign salary, overseas rent, capital gains from foreign assets: none of it is taxed in India during this period. Once RNOR expires and ROR begins, worldwide income enters the tax base. That transition window is the most valuable planning period a returning NRI gets<a href=\"https:\/\/taxguru.in\/income-tax\/nri-residency-status-1-april-2026-tax-resident-india.html#respond#1#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/money\/income-tax-new-income-tax-act-2025-what-changes-for-nris-from-april-1-and-what-stays-the-same-4189030\/?ref=articlehyperlinking#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. When does an NRI need to file an income tax return in India?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The short answer is when Indian income crosses \u20b94 lakh under the new regime. But the practical answer is more useful: file if TDS was deducted, even when income falls below that threshold. NRO interest suffers TDS at 31.2%, while the actual tax liability computed across slabs is often far lower. The gap is a refund, and filing is the only way to claim it.
