Frequently Asked Questions
Why is residential status important for income tax filing?
Residential status determines whether only Indian income or both Indian and foreign income may be taxable in India. It also affects foreign asset disclosure, reporting obligations, and the correct approach for ITR filing.
What are the main residential status categories?
The common categories are Resident, Non-Resident, and Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident. The applicable status depends on your stay in India, previous-year travel history, and other income tax conditions.
Is this service useful for returning Indians?
Yes. Returning Indians often need detailed residential status review because they may qualify as Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident for a limited period, depending on their earlier years of stay and tax profile.
Does this plan include ITR filing?
No. This plan covers residential status determination and advisory guidance. If you need NRI tax filing, ITR-2 filing, foreign income reporting, or return submission, you can choose the relevant filing service separately.
How long does WealthSure take to determine residential status?
Once you share travel dates, passport details, income information, and relevant supporting documents, our expert reviews your case and determines your residential status. The process is usually completed within 2 days, subject to document completeness.
