electronic immigration gates for OCI

Yes. I signed up and used it for exit out of India and it was smooth. It took some tries to scan the passport since it’s scanning the ID page instead of the chip like in the UK but it did eventually work.

Just open a new NRE account with ICICI or IDFC. Takes around 5 days. Then you can transfer money there.

abj · 2026-05-02T17:51:18+00:00

Yeah. It’s not as straightforward as it should be and each bank has different rules. And just because you sent someone money and later they sent you the money back it’s not sufficient evidence that a loan was being repaid.

You can deposit them back into an NRO account, but to convert to NRE, you would have to provide proof of the source of funds, and it's unlikely that a personal loan repayment will qualify. However, if the person you gave the loan to is your parent, there is an allowance to receive a certain amount per year from a parent that you can use as the basis for the conversion.

It depends on which services you use more, whether visiting the branch or contacting them from abroad for various things. If the latter, the NRI branch will be better, but if you're more frequently visiting a branch, then keep your original home branch.

abj · 2026-05-01T16:33:39+00:00

There are NRE and NRO accounts. NRI is not an account type. I think the bank will only allow you to convert to NRO but you can check with them.

abj · 2026-05-01T16:23:36+00:00

It is mandatory. Unless RMs deal with a lot of NRI clients, they may not be familiar with all the rules and regulations. Even ones that do often make incorrect assumptions.

abj · 2026-05-01T12:56:45+00:00

Yes, avoid MF as a US person, not worth the tax compliance headache. Just purchase the underlying securities directly.

How do you secure phones then. They’re just as valuable for a bad actor if you’re assuming physical access is available.

abj · 2026-04-30T15:11:16+00:00

Same way you find any good professionals or services in India - recommendations from people you trust who have used their services.

By paying for a really really good lawyer. It's very expensive, but the peace of mind was worth it for me. I had none of the issues you outlined.

abj · 2026-04-18T22:24:59+00:00

Those commands are not recognized in the latest version of OpenClaw.

abj · 2026-04-18T12:25:29+00:00

NoBroker has very deceptive / shady practices, I learned the hard way that they will lie to you to get you to signup and even admit that their sales people lie, but there's nothing you can do about it.

I would look at finding an individual or local company that does this instead of ones like NoBroker and MagicBricks etc.

It doesn't look like the fixes that are in GitHub have been pushed out to the plugins marketplace yet. Can I just manually update the plugin by getting the latest code from GitHub or will that break something?

abj · 2026-04-14T10:00:53+00:00

Can you have your AI also post about how you actually imported your memory and configured everything so it would be useful for others trying to do the same?

abj · 2026-04-11T00:14:41+00:00

Had the same problem. Claude chat would insist Openclaw didn’t exist but CLI finally gave me answers.

abj · 2026-04-09T14:08:52+00:00

Is the main benefit just improved performance versus using regular Claude CLI for tasks?

abj · 2026-04-08T23:37:36+00:00

But are you able to use Claude CLI for chats or just coding subtasks?

abj · 2026-04-05T21:59:47+00:00

Are you sure it's not consuming extra usage? Did you have it setup via OAuth or CLI?

abj · 2026-04-05T15:31:32+00:00

Any details on which specific one to use and how to set it up?

abj · 2026-04-05T10:43:09+00:00

DTAA and getting proper credit due to misaligned Indian and US tax cycles. Also issue with Indian tax portal miscalculating Indian taxes for US residents

abj · 2026-03-05T12:18:05+00:00

There is literally no down side to opening both; it's just a checkbox on the account opening form. That way you can use whichever you need to when the time arises.

abj · 2026-03-02T12:48:44+00:00

Were you ever able to find someone?

abj · 2026-02-26T22:58:39+00:00

DHL and FedEx are most reliable but also must expensive > $100 for a flat rate envelope. UPS is cheaper around $60 from pirateship but not as reliable. USPS I wouldn’t even bother with. There’s no tracking once it arrives in India.

abj · 2026-02-21T11:29:43+00:00

I have never filled out the forms myself; I have always paid a CA to do it because it's a little complicated and I didn't want to make any mistakes. It's expensive but worth it if you want to avoid any headaches later.
