Your next steps

0 of 5 steps complete · Next: Resolve departure reporting before travel

  1. Keep the regular income return under review

    Departure administration does not replace review of GPM311 and retained receipts. Preserve the records for investment, property and Indian income categories that applied during residence.

  2. Obtain the written immigration position

    Ask the Migration Department how your actual India move affects your permit and dependants. The official yearbook documents absence and family-related cancellation grounds; do not plan future re-entry from the card expiry alone.

  3. Request pension, payroll and provider handover records

    Practical preparation: collect final salary and leave payments, pension entitlements, contribution history, beneficiaries, account costs and India servicing instructions. Ask before authorising a pension withdrawal or portfolio transfer.

  4. Maintain access and India-side evidence

    Practical preparation: test VMI/MIGRIS access, representative authority, overseas correspondence and refund arrangements. Keep tax residence, citizenship and asset-cost files separate and provide all three to the Indian adviser where relevant.

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
