Rights

The government of India is all set to extend the legal rights of NRIs pertaining to tax benefits. To promote charity and social welfare, the government has decided to give tax concessions to NRIs. Indians residing in the US can now benefit from tax relaxations on the investments they make in social welfare projects in India.

Non-resident Indians can bring back effects (personal and used) on returning to India without payment of duty provided the stay was over two years, under the NRI Laws.

In 2007, a survey was conducted among various sections of NRIs who were based in the US. This survey was carried out by the Association for India’s Development, which is a United States non-profit group. What makes the survey interesting is that it tossed up some findings on NRI India laws.
