When an NRI returns to India after years abroad, financial and compliance matters become more complex. At N.D. Savla & Associates, we provide tailored advisory for Returning Indians and recent immigrants to ensure a smooth transition from non-resident status to Indian residency. Our focus is on optimizing tax liability, ensuring FEMA compliance, and securing your global assets.

  • Tax planning for Returning Indians to minimize global tax exposure

  • Advisory on foreign asset and bank account disclosure

  3. Disclosure & Compliance – Advise on mandatory reporting of foreign assets and income.
