Specialized India Services for NRIs

Specialized India
Services for NRIs

Managing Your India Financial & Legal
Matters from Anywhere.

IBS provides specialised advisory for Non-Resident Indians
(NRIs) navigating India-related taxation, property, succession,
and compliance matters coordinated seamlessly for NRIs
based in Singapore and other overseas locations.

Requirement for NRI Services

Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) face a distinct set of tax and compliance obligations in India, separate from resident Indians. These may cover income earned or assets held in India, property transactions, inheritance, and foreign exchange regulations. These requirements span the Income Tax Act, FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act), and succession laws and are frequently updated, making them easy to overlook or misinterpret without dedicated advisory support.

IBS provides specialised, India-focused advisory for NRIs in coordination with qualified Indian tax and legal professionals. This enables overseas Indians to manage their India-related financial and legal matters without needing to be physically present or navigate the system on their own.
