You can do transfer back to US at any time, if you have NRE. If you have NRO, then money can be transferred to NRE if a chartered accountant gives a certificate that he has looked at all your accounts and he is satisfied that you are compliant (I think 15B form or such).

Find someone who needs to send money to India. And have accounts settled locally.

This is literally hawala MO ..dont do this.

You can legally repatriate money via initiating transfers and if the amount is large you may have to pay some tax. Any other method used for repatriation can be considered illegal and can expose you to scrutiny by Indian tax department.

Thanks. So the tax should be paid in India?

Are you sure you want to move money now...given it’s about 71INR to 1$?

Haha yeah.. I think so too

If you held money in NRE account, it should be a simple transfer but bearing currency conversion. Assuming you have already paid taxes in US for the interest earned for the period held if applicable.

Recently joined a company that's likely to IPO in the first half of 2021 and a chunk of my equity vests in the fall. Anything I can do to limit my tax liability, specifically relating to vesting equity?

My understanding is that I owe taxes as soon as it vests (assuming liquidation), either by taking it out of my shares or paying when I file.
