Compare
How is NRI, OCI and foreign national treatment different in India?
Tax and compliance obligations in India differ significantly based on your residential status and citizenship category.
| Feature | NRI / OCI | Foreign National (Non-OCI) |
|---|---|---|
| Residential status | Non-Resident (NR) if India stay is below prescribed threshold in a financial year | Non-Resident for Indian tax purposes if below the same threshold |
| TDS on income from India | Higher TDS rates typically apply (e.g. 20–30% on property sale proceeds) | Similar higher TDS rates apply; DTAA relief may reduce effective rate |
| Can open NRE / NRO account | Yes — NRE for repatriable funds, NRO for India-earned income | Foreign nationals typically use NRO-equivalent accounts |
| Property ownership in India | NRIs/OCIs can purchase most residential and commercial property | Requires RBI approval for most categories |
| Business registration in India | Can be director/partner in Indian company or LLP; FDI through automatic route for most sectors | Similar; additional KYC, apostille and possibly Government route FDI for certain sectors |
| DTAA applicability | Depends on country of residence and India's treaty network | Same — treaty benefits available where India has a DTAA with the country of residence |
Residential status determination is fact-specific and varies by financial year. Consult our advisors for guidance on your specific situation.
