Direct answer
Residence, FEMA status and tax reporting can change on different tests
A permanent move does not make every legal status change on one universal date. Indian income-tax residence follows statutory day-count and related rules, while bank-account treatment and FEMA residence use their own facts. Work through each system separately and keep the records supporting the conclusion.
- 1Preserve travel history and determine the Indian tax status first.
- 2Notify banks and financial institutions using their required evidence.
- 3Map foreign income, assets and taxes into the Indian reporting year.
- 4Review retirement accounts, equity awards and property before taking an irreversible action.
