She has2.5 crore in Nre Fixed Deposits bank account. as she is non resident interest on above2.5 crore is exempt from tax u/s 10 (4).
Interest on Nre Fixed Deposit = 3.5%
Interest on Regular Fixed DepositAccount = 9.25%
As she is losing quite high interest on nre account she decided to convert the amount in ordinaryaccount and gain extra interest @9.25%. but she will come under 30% tax bracket.
She decided to distribute the amount to her husband, son, daughter in law @ 50 lacs each. all are foreign citizens and non residents.
This distribution is done in their nre accounts respectively and in foreign currency.
All 4 obtain pan, convert inand gain interest on normalaccount @ 9.25%.
They file returns as nri and pay taxes after deduction of tds or obtain refund respectively.
