Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between NR, RNOR, and ROR?
- NR (Non-Resident) means you are not a resident. RNOR (Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident) is a transitional status. ROR (Resident and Ordinarily Resident) is a full resident. The calculator uses your stay days and non-resident years to determine which category you fall into.
- How does the calculator determine my residency status?
- It uses your days in India during the current financial year (daysCurrentFY), the previous 4 years (daysPrev4FY), the previous 7 years (daysPrev7FY), and the number of non-resident years in the last 10 (nonResidentYearsPrev10). Based on these inputs, it applies the Indian tax residency rules to classify you as NR, RNOR, or ROR.
- What is the significance of being an RNOR?
- RNOR status is often beneficial for recent returnees to India, as it allows certain foreign income to be taxed only when received in India. The calculator helps you see if you qualify for RNOR based on your stay history.
Tips & Common Mistakes
Tips
- Ensure you count all days physically present in India, including arrival and departure days.
- The lookback periods are crucial: the previous 4 years and previous 7 years are counted from the current financial year.
- Non-resident years in the last 10 years are counted as years where you were a non-resident for tax purposes.
- This calculator is an estimate; for precise tax planning, consult a tax professional.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Forgetting to include days spent in India for any purpose, including short visits.
- Misinterpreting the lookback periods: the previous 4 years and 7 years are from the end of the current financial year.
- Assuming that being an NRI automatically makes you RNOR; you must meet the specific conditions.
