The challenge
Mid-year arrival risked unintended ROR status with global income taxable in India. FCNR deposits had differential treatment. DTAA credits on Singapore-sourced salary needed Form 67 planning.
How we approached it
01Modelled residency under three arrival-date scenarios
02Optimised arrival to preserve RNOR window for two financial years
03Pre-filed Form 67 worksheet so DTAA credit could be claimed without scramble
"They mapped residential status, FCNR treatment and DTAA in one call. Zero surprises at filing."
