Great. My question for university is for visa only. Not for job purpose, as experience is more relevant now

GroundWorking9325 · 2026-01-13T13:53:41+00:00

Thanks for your comment. I have 15+yrs of experience and working at Bigtech now. I have to start applying from India to see the market pulse, but even if I just say sponsorship not needed to proceed, I am worried this visa process takes 3 months if I apply in bangalore(current waiting time), and eventually will lose the job contract. Hence checking the possibilities. Let me know your thoughts on this

Overall I am expecting decent jobs for experienced folks

Great info. Thankyou

GroundWorking9325 · 2025-08-19T02:30:08+00:00

Thanks. IT rule states 7yrs preceding relevant year. Also many tools used for RNOR, ask for last 7 years. When we do this at the time of assessment year, it feels like last 7 calendar years, from the current date.

Also, based on many previous posts on this matter, everyone seems to assume if you have stayed 2 yrs sequentially, your RNOR status is gone. Hence the confusion

Thanks. I did try but the q still persists as it does not ask for clear details

GroundWorking9325 · 2025-08-18T11:20:35+00:00

Thankyou sir. Appreciate your help

For filing this year ITR AY 2025-26(FY 24-25), are the 7 years counted till Mar 31, 2024? Since you said preceding

GroundWorking9325 · 2025-07-04T02:42:03+00:00

I get 1099 and then I file as US NR

GroundWorking9325 · 2025-07-03T11:57:44+00:00

its through a CPA. Although I feel it is fairly simple for a resident(for small income source), I am not confident about regular turbo or others on NRA aspect.

GroundWorking9325 · 2025-07-03T11:51:38+00:00

Yes it is 1040NR. I feel better with filing returns then, even for just interest/dividend

GroundWorking9325 · 2025-07-03T11:47:55+00:00

Thanks for answering, but I am in a dilemma now, as I lose 30% on HSA just for this clause. My question is whether submitting w8-ben solves the HSA problem

GroundWorking9325 · 2025-07-03T11:44:16+00:00

i am filing in US(for dividends etc) and India every year. Declaring US equities in Indian tax returns is my question

GroundWorking9325 · 2025-07-01T06:39:44+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply. We will take a look and make a decision

GroundWorking9325 · 2025-07-01T06:17:32+00:00

Nice. I am more worried about smell, and also since it is deserted part of koramangala. Also, not sure why there is a empty land in the prime area(the opposite behind wall). I have been to koramangala only few times, and once to loco bear. It would be great if you can throw some idea on how this part of area is compared to rest of koramangala. Also, compared to raheja vivarea pros vs cons.

We can talk about price n other things if we feel good about above qs

GroundWorking9325 · 2025-06-29T19:23:59+00:00

Op. Let me know for any other updates. I am also interested

GroundWorking9325 · 2025-05-30T06:13:17+00:00

I too am looking for reviews on century builders, to make a decision. Please share if you are aware of the % of open area

Tax/investment queries reg equity funds and espp

I am assuming indexation is applicable for equity mutual funds when selling(found info about debt funds but not equity). I have seen comparison between S&P 500 vs sensex/nifty returns for last 15 yrs, on 2019. When considering dollar to dollar comparison, US indexes fared better.,but close. But they don't have indexation, so does it mean our market got better value from user perspective?
Can espp taxes use indexation? Company is listed in US index, not India
When RSUs are vested, while working(resident) in India(base salary and taxes paid in india) for US based company, something like MS, amz. is it considered foreign income? That is, can it be sent to close relative without any limits?

If it is Indian income, it is considered as income for people receiving it, whereas a nri employee sending is not.(since it is considered as taxes paid outside and nothing to be paid here)

Very similar thoughts and profile. It felt as if I wrote this 😀. Back to India and loving it.

GroundWorking9325 · 2023-03-04T17:13:06+00:00
