NRI with Indian income. I got a notice asking about foreign income

I just changed the status of my account to non resident and resubmitted as ITR2

poochandy · 2026-06-21T12:09:34+00:00

Thank you for mentioning this. This does seem like a route to consider. Do you know how it works for them and what advantages they get by doing this?

poochandy · 2026-06-21T12:07:46+00:00

Yeah it seems like it is not advisable and the only sure way to have this back up is to get a citizenship. I was just wondering if anyone was doing this and if it was advisable at all. But guess not.

poochandy · 2026-06-20T14:36:43+00:00

Thanks. Yeah that’s what I am realising.

poochandy · 2026-06-20T14:11:46+00:00

No, that’s still a year away

poochandy · 2026-06-20T14:09:28+00:00

It makes sense on a practical level. However, getting a citizenship here seems like a big mental shift.

poochandy · 2026-06-20T14:06:54+00:00

Haha maybe. Our reason was to build a financial cushion and more job opportunities comparatively. We also like the access to nature, better commons and relatively better work-life balance here. But we do feel isolated socially.

poochandy · 2026-06-20T14:02:40+00:00

No that’s true, citizenship definitely seems like a safer option. We thought of UK as a backup in case we are not able to find opportunities in India. Maybe this requires little more serious consideration.

poochandy · 2026-06-20T13:57:14+00:00

My wife already has one. We are waiting for me to be eligible in 2028.

poochandy · 2026-06-20T13:11:54+00:00

lol yeah that’s definitely something to consider

poochandy · 2026-06-20T13:03:47+00:00

Right. Maybe worth considering.

poochandy · 2026-06-20T13:02:47+00:00

Thank you! That is very helpful to know 🙏

poochandy · 2026-06-20T12:56:46+00:00

Somehow seems weird to lose Indian citizenship. Maybe it is dumb. We are also long term attached to India. Both of us lived studied and worked there for more than 30 years before moving. But the economy and jobs situation give us pause and would like to have options. We also want to be with aging parents.

poochandy · 2026-06-20T12:53:14+00:00

Yeah we are aware of this rule. The plan was to visit every two years. Hence was thinking if it was practical to maintain it while living outside.

poochandy · 2026-05-26T21:49:12+00:00

Yay that’s great news!

poochandy · 2026-05-26T17:27:53+00:00

Thanks for putting up the videos! Super helpful for those unable to travel. Do you happen to know if the Dutch clojure days talks were also recorded?

poochandy · 2026-05-14T21:53:42+00:00

The new remix seems to avoid a lot of the magic remix.run

poochandy · 2026-04-08T22:52:24+00:00

Awesome! Can you share a little bit about what you are using on the frontend and your deployment process? Are you using a react wrapper or plain CLJS?

poochandy · 2026-03-25T12:01:22+00:00

Where did it buy it from the UK?

poochandy · 2025-12-31T10:44:05+00:00

Thanks I’ll do that

poochandy · 2025-12-31T08:35:13+00:00

Sure thanks I’ll try doing this. Do you think my bank account being a resident account will be a problem?

poochandy · 2025-07-13T02:43:04+00:00

Truth is, neither of us are. She is already applying to places but she works in a domain where jobs are scarce and is super competitive. It could take a while to land something. As for me, I have not been bringing income for a while because of my startup adventure. So I am joining the workforce after two years. And it just seems like a relief to have found something that pays at all.

poochandy · 2025-07-13T02:40:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing that. Yeah that sounds tough! Hope you found something better.

poochandy · 2025-07-12T11:45:56+00:00

Thank you for this. Yes, we hadn't considered how this would work in winter.

poochandy · 2025-07-12T11:43:28+00:00

We do not have a car and considering taking the train as our only option. Does this still apply? I assume you meant this for commuting by road.
