Financial Planning for NRIs from Gujarat – Your India Finances, Managed Remotely
Gujarati NRIs are among the most financially active non-resident communities – with strong ties to their home state, significant India-based assets (property, investments, family business interests) and complex tax obligations in both India and their country of residence.
Whether you are in the UAE, USA, UK, Canada or Australia, managing India finances from abroad involves navigating FEMA regulations, DTAA provisions, RBI guidelines on NRE/NRO accounts and the Indian income tax system. This is exactly where OakRise Fincorp adds value – fully remote, digital service via WhatsApp, email and video call.

Frequently Asked Questions
I am an NRI from Ahmedabad living in Dubai. Do I need to file ITR in India?
If India-sourced income exceeds ₹2.5 lakh after deductions, ITR filing is mandatory. Even below this, filing is strongly advisable if TDS has been deducted – very common for NRO interest and property transactions – so you can claim the refund.
Can I invest in mutual funds in India as an NRI?
Yes. NRIs can invest through NRE or NRO accounts. USA and Canada based NRIs face restrictions as many AMCs do not accept investments due to FATCA requirements – we advise on which AMCs are available for your country of residence.
I own a flat in Ahmedabad that I rent out. What are my tax obligations?
Rental income from India is taxable in India. The tenant should deduct TDS at 30% on rent. You declare in India ITR, claim standard deduction and home loan interest if applicable. We handle this complete process remotely.
How does the India-UAE DTAA benefit me?
UAE does not levy personal income tax, so UAE-based NRIs pay tax only in India on India-sourced income – no double taxation. We apply DTAA benefits correctly in your ITR.
I want to sell my property in Ahmedabad and repatriate proceeds to UK. How?
Buyer deducts TDS at 20-25% on sale price. You file ITR to pay actual capital gains tax and claim refund for excess TDS. For repatriation: Form 15CA and Form 15CB needed, limited to USD 1 million per year. We manage the complete process.
