Non-Resident Indians (NRIs)

Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) are Indian citizens who live outside India for work, business, or other reasons, but maintain their Indian citizenship. They are distinguished from residents by their primary residence outside India and often keep cultural, economic, or familial ties to their home country. NRIs can live anywhere globally—such as the US, UK, or Australia—but retain certain rights and responsibilities related to India, like property ownership or investments. Their status helps define taxation, banking, and legal considerations concerning their stay abroad while preserving their Indian nationality.
