In brief

Tax residence, an immigration permit and citizenship answer different questions. The PRO foreign-income page was read in Macedonian. Ministry foreigners guidance is an introductory notice, not a verified consolidated 2026 absence schedule. The steps below identify matters to establish; requests for confirmation are not claims that a particular exemption, treaty or filing applies.

Start with Public Revenue Office: Reporting foreign income by resident individuals (opens in a new tab)

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.

Your next steps

0 of 4 steps complete · Next: Assess home and presence

  1. Report taxable Indian-source income correctly

    PRO says resident taxable foreign income is reported through electronic tax services. List Indian deposit income, dividends, rent and gains and determine whether each falls within taxable income or an exemption.

  2. Review pensions separately

    Give PRO the pension payer, public/private nature and withholding evidence. Ask how an Indian pension is treated under current personal-income provisions and any applicable agreement; overseas transfers alone do not determine the result.

  3. Confirm departure calculations and returns

    PRO uses electronic advance calculations for specified income as well as annual procedures. Ask which filings continue after the India move, what residence evidence is needed and how foreign tax is evidenced.

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.

Questions to take to an adviser

  • Which residence test and current law apply in my departure year?
  • How are my Indian rent, interest, gains and pension classified?
  • What evidence is required for any available foreign tax relief?
