NRIs typically invest in their home markets first, followed by key markets.

The court has directed them to answer a series of questions including as to how many families have basic amenity of housing in India as well as in Tamil Nadu, population and housing ratio in the country and in the state, when 'Housing for All' mission of the central government would be achieved.

The budget talks about taxing “stateless people” who game the system, hop around from country to country and do not pay tax in any other jurisdiction. The government has assured that “bona fide workers” will not be taxed.

According to property consultant Anarock, the rupee’s depreciation had been a factor of considerable interest for NRIs considering Indian real estate as a sensible investment option during these volatile times.

Lord Swraj Paul today met PM Narendra Modi and conveyed his appreciation of the recent decision of Indian government to treat NRI investments at par with resident investments.

The scheme, popularly known as Qrops, has been approved by Her Majesty’s Revenues and Customs, the body in the UK that collects and administers taxes.

Swaraj said this while chairing a meeting of India Development Foundation of Overseas Indians, a trust established to supplement development efforts.

Siddaramaiah further stressed Karnataka's pro-NRI stance by pointing to the newly-released policy catering to their interests

Most fund houses in India don’t allow NRIs from US and Canada because of the cumbersome compliance requirements under FATCA.

Two hotel projects of the company are in the advanced stage of completion at Kakkanad, the IT valley of the state.

NRIs are currently allowed to invest in Indian markets directly and indirectly through multiple routes.

Jaishankar, while interacting with NRIs in Australia, Surinam, the US, Singapore, Quatar, Malaysia, the UK and Mauritius through video conferencing on the occasion of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, also said he would find a practical solution to the issue of tracing of roots for non-resident Indians (NRIs) and persons of Indian origin (PIOs).

High income earners could find staying with old I-T regime more attractive.

The government said the provision was an “anti-abuse” one and will only apply to income that is generated locally.

Punjab Minister for NRI Affairs Bikram Singh Majithia said they were being set up keeping in view the demand for more such police stations by the NRI community.

The trend of Indians returning from abroad to work here has picked up pace with the recovery in the country's economy.

The meeting also decided to explore possibilities of setting up an industrial complex in Maharashtra to rehabilitate returnees, Pallykandi said.

India has allowed discounting of prolonged stay period for determining the residency status in relief for NRIs.

A law requiring 120 days' stay in India to claim Non-Resident Indian (NRI) status needs to be changed, an association representing NRIs has demanded, citing economic disruptions due to the coronavirus pandemic.

An NRI is spared tax on income outside India. A resident is required to pay tax on global earnings.

In order to avoid any misinterpretation, it is clarified that in case of an Indian citizen who becomes deemed resident of India under this proposed provision, income earned outside India by him shall not be taxed in India unless it is derived from an Indian business or profession.

Clarification that overseas earnings of bona fide workers won’t be taxed is ambiguous, say experts.

Govt has decided to tax only the income generated by NRIs from the biz in India, leaving their global incomes.

Asymptotic expansions are derived for eigenvalues produced by both the Crouzeix-Raviart element and the enriched Crouzeix--Raviart element. The expansions are optimal in the sense that extrapolation eigenvalues based on them admit a fourth order convergence provided that exact eigenfunctions are smooth enough. The major challenge in establishing the expansions comes from the fact that the canonical interpolation of both nonconforming elements lacks a crucial superclose property, and the nonconformity of both elements. The main idea is to employ the relation between the lowest-order mixed Raviart--Thomas element and the two nonconforming elements, and consequently make use of the superclose property of the canonical interpolation of the lowest-order mixed Raviart--Thomas element. To overcome the difficulty caused by the nonconformity, the commuting property of the canonical interpolation operators of both nonconforming elements is further used, which turns the consistency error problem into an interpolation error problem. Then, a series of new results are obtained to show the final expansions.
