In brief
Your Greek tax registration needs to reflect the legal residence result. Immigration status, Indian nationality and the place money is banked do not replace that assessment. The steps focus on the ordinary framework; special incoming-resident regimes require separate applications and conditions.
Keep citizenship, tax residence and FEMA residence separate
These labels answer different questions. Your nationality or OCI card does not alone determine the year’s Indian tax treatment. Establish the relevant year, travel history, income sources and exceptions.

Resolve residence rather than infer it
Next stepAADE identifies tax residence as central to worldwide-income taxation under the Greek Income Tax Code. Its short English residence page is a framework rather than a full checklist. Ask the adviser to apply the current tests to homes, work, family and travel, and to check your AADE registry classification.
Review all Indian taxable income
AADE states that Greek tax residents are subject to tax on taxable Greek and foreign income. Prepare Indian interest, rent, dividends, gains, business and pension receipts by category. The authority explains that an applicable tax convention determines allocation between residence and source countries; no blanket Indian-income exemption is established.
Document relief and its cap
AADE explains that foreign income tax can reduce Greek tax on that income, but the reduction cannot exceed the Greek tax attributable to it. Keep Indian tax assessments, payment and withholding evidence, and ask what is final and creditable. AADE also points to a Greek residence certificate through myAADE for relevant foreign-authority use.
Map assets to cash flows
Editorial preparation: connect each Indian property, deposit, mutual fund, security and family business interest to its receipts and original cost. Include reinvested distributions and sales proceeds separately. Ask the preparer about any additional asset or acquisition reporting; this guide has not verified an all-purpose foreign-asset return for your case.
Keep special regimes separate
Editorial preparation: if an adviser proposes an incoming-investor, pensioner or employment incentive, request the current AADE rule, application decision and income scope in writing. Compare it with ordinary taxation before acting. A residence permit or property purchase does not itself demonstrate tax-regime admission.

Model the decision with your own figures
Prepare the dates, currencies, costs and amounts you know. Keep tax eligibility, provider access and uncertain assumptions on your adviser’s question list. The calculators show those assumptions explicitly.
For a return to India, add education, parents’ support, healthcare, partner income and locked funds to the household timeline. Bring supporting-tool figures into it only after reviewing timing, currency and overlap.
Questions to take to an adviser
- Is my AADE residence registration correct?
- What Greek tax is attributable to each Indian income item?
- Which Indian tax can be credited and what evidence is accepted?
- Do I have an actual special-regime approval?
