The NRI Money Guide

The money companion to the OCI's Guide — one careful explainer on each financial system an overseas Indian has to navigate back home.

Anchored at the Business desk.

About this series

From bank accounts to property, equities to tax, the overseas Indian's financial relationship with India is a maze of rules that change often and trip people up expensively. This series is one clear, sourced explainer at a time.

The standard is journalism, not financial advice: we explain how the systems work and where the pitfalls are, and tell you to confirm the current rules and your own position with your bank or a qualified adviser.
