The Residence vs Citizenship Trap

Tax residence and citizenship are completely different concepts.

India taxes residents on global income, non-residents only on India-sourced income.

Citizenship doesn't determine residence—physical presence, economic ties, family location do.

You can hold Indian passport while being tax resident elsewhere.

Conversely, you can be Indian tax resident without citizenship.

Many confuse these fundamentally. This confusion costs millions annually.

Do you clearly understand your tax residence status?
