NRI & Expatriate Taxation Advisory Services
Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and expatriates face complex challenges navigating Indian laws—ranging from Income Tax and FEMA regulations to repatriation, investment management, and residency rules. At PratapKaran Paul & Co, Chartered Accountants, we simplify these obligations through end-to-end advisory and compliance support designed specifically for NRIs and global professionals. Whether managing rental income, capital gains, or global remittances, our team ensures tax-efficient structuring and legal compliance—even from abroad—without requiring physical presence in India.
With over 15 years of experience in NRI tax advisory, we specialize in residency determination, PAN acquisition, double taxation relief through DTAA, and investment repatriation from India. We support NRIs with services such as exemption from TDS, capital gains planning, FEMA-compliant fund transfers, and representation before Indian tax and RBI authorities. Our expatriate services include structuring secondments, permanent establishment analysis, and managing tax equalization for inbound assignments. We provide visa-related compliance (FRRO), payroll support (Form 24Q, Form 16/12BA), ITR filing, and final Exit Clearance Certificate (ITCC) assistance for departing clients. Our aim: hassle-free international financial management with strong regulatory assurance and peace of mind.
