Create a business, and provide services under that business to that company. In that way u can save money
Good idea. Register sole proprietor, and you have to pay just 2.5% tax.
If you’re staying in India then you will be taxed. You cannot stay in India and ask to be considered as an NRI.
The latest rules states that -
If the individual satisfies any of the basic conditions mentioned below, the individual would qualify as a resident; otherwise he or she would qualify as a non-resident (NR).
These conditions include:
(a) physical presence in India during the relevant FY is 182 days or more; or
(b) physical presence in India during the relevant FY is 60 days or more and 365 days or more in the preceding four FYs.
(c) an individual, being a citizen of India, having total income, other than income from foreign sources, exceeding ₹15 lakh during the relevant FY
So yeah, it you’re never leaving India at all for this work. You will be taxed. You cannot simply open an NRE account without Valid Visa and other documents which the banks will ask for.
You can try the business account route, but nothing will be 0% tax free. If I were you I will negotiate the salary I should be getting after tax with them, not the one they say tax free.
FYI, I have worked in both countries 🙌🏻
This is insightful.
If your salary is coming in Dubai’s account then there will be no tax(Dubai is tax free) . If you are getting in Indian account then its taxable.
So I recommend get salary in Dubai’s account only and open a NRI account with hdfc for transferring funds from Dubai to India.
Its neosoft as I am working here for the past 7 years so they provided me onsite opportunity (.net full stack role )
Or else if you take in an Indian account it will be considered as a freelancer salary, so you pay tax on 50% amount in India. See 44ada
Thank you
It wont be taxable. You can open NRO account with any Indian bank and transfer to it.
Thank you
Follow the NRI money clinic channel in YT, to solve all your doubts regarding NRI income
This is great
That's really helpfull.
Why don't you go to a CA and get this query answered instead of relying on half baked information from the net and from social media. Your income will be taxable in India if it comes to you in an Indian Bank account and that depends on what type of entity you are presenting yourself as. If you are doing IT work it is equivalent to IT exports and you will be treated as an individual or entity providing IT services to a foreign company. If you were earlier in Dubai and getting your income into a Dubai account then it is not taxable but since you are working from India now, the equation changes. As I said, it's better to consult a CA and get yourself on the safe side of law
I used to work in Dubai had great package up to 80 lakh per year. I left it the rent is expensive and i realise as per your passport you will get paid. You will never get pay as per the talent. In future you might reach director position nothing above
I think its due to origin country's economy. US and UK are expensive so they compensate them better than Indians
Not unless until you live and work in India for less than 6 months in financial year. If you are caught receiving money in foreign bank accounts without tax you will have to deal with ED & IT.
Register a sole proprietor, just have to pay 2.5% tax.
Yeah, a CA would be best person to judge and advice. I had worked in such setting for few months last to last year.
What is considered as good salary if you're positioned in Abu Dhabi for 12 years of experience into IT service management?

You need to pay gst on your credited salary which will be 0% for all people who are earning in foreign currency then pay taxes on only 50% income only. You need to get a gst number with current bank account savings account can't be used. You can use for some early transaction but make sure salary is credited in current account after long time.
Which company ? Can you provide referral.
You cannot open an NRI account staying in India. You need to provide a valid NRI status proof. The best way is to register a company or else go with presumptive taxation where you pay tax on 50% amount if your earnings are less than 50lakh per annum.
Thank you
If you stay abroad more than 6 months, your income is tax free.
Which company is it? And what role you got into?
I tried similar approach earlier and couldn't found any oppurtunities in my lane of work. Can you please share the company details along with the role you got into!
It is taxable ... The company who hired you should take care of it.

First thing's first, you should have a valid work permit from the overseas employer stating your role, designation, location of work (UAE for e.g.)
2. your salary should be credited to an overseas bank account (e.g. a bankaccount in your name in UAE) irrespective of where you are working from
3. Although people don't follow FEMA rules, but understand the fact that.. since you are within India, you are officially a resident (not an NRI) you can check online what is the criteria to determine NRI status
4. Since you won't officially be decraled an NRI, it will be required for you to declare the foreign income under ITR and pay requires taxes as per law for all/any remittance coming in from you overseas Bank account into your NRE savings account
5. Opening an NRE saving account requires you to furnish atleast a valid work permit with your bank and later a valid identity proof from that country as enhanced KYC.. and you are required to do rekyc every year on an NRE saving account
6. You may be violating if declaring yourself NRE and trying to save on taxes

You'll be taxable on only 50% of salary as a contractor
