RNOR status

An individual is treated as 'Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident' (RNOR) if any of the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) an individual who has been a non-resident in India in 9 out of 10 previous financial years preceding that year, or
(b) if such individual has been in India for an aggregate period of 729 days or less in the preceding 7 years,

If you are planning to come to India on 10th of Oct 2021, your RNOR status would be valid for 3 years. i.e. till 9th October 2024. 

If you dont have any income in India during RNOR status, you dont need to file return of income in India except in  case of certain specific high payments (for eg. If your electricity payment during the year is more than 2 lacs)

Dear Sir,

Hope you are doing well !!

In case of RNOR individuals, the foreign income (i.e., income accrued outside India) shall not be taxable in India.

If you don't have any income in India, then you don't need to file ITR in India.

It is advisable to take a phone consultation for detailed discussion.

If you come on 1st week of July 2021, you will still be RNOR and you will enjoy RNOR till June 2024. 

Also, tax return filing is based on taxable income generated in India and not as per the residential status. During your RNOR status, if you are generating any income which accrued or earned in India and total income is exceeding INR 250000, then you are required file tax return in India. 

Hope this clarifies. 

You can enjoy RNOR status for 2 financial year including the one in which you came down to India.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement. You can even book phone consultation for further personal assistance.

Thank you.

1. You are planning to come in F.Y. 2021-22. If you are planning to  come on 10.10.2021 first you have to check whether you will fulfill basic conditions of resident otherwise you will be treated as NRI for F.Y. 2021-22.

2. If you become resident in F.Y. 2021-22 and 2022-23 then you will be RNOR till F.Y. 2022-23 and from F.Y. 2023-24 you will be ROR.

3. RNOR is required to file ITR for income earned in India.

4. Update the status accordingly in bank.
