I am no more NRI now, what about my existing fixed deposits with the banks in India, and as per rule I need to close NRE account. Do I need to pay income tax on payout of maturity amount.
Also Know – For what purpose NRI Home Loan can be availed?
Answers :
- The proceed of the Fixed Deposit amount can be deposited in a regular savings bank account or a resident foreign currency account if there is a need for foreign currency in future. Once you are no longer an NRI, you are required to intimate your bank and convert your NR accounts to domestic accounts.
- Since the amount is earned outside India while being a non resident, there should not be any tax implication but maintain the records of the earning for future.
- The amount can be used to purchase property or personal use as you have now become a resident.
