PPF maturity funds repatriation and DTAA

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the process for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), including Green Card holders, to repatriate their Public Provident Fund (PPF) maturity amounts from their NRO accounts to overseas accounts. The consensus is that PPF maturity funds can be repatriated via the NRO account after closure, and this process does not attract Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) provisions or Indian tax liability, as the maturity amount is exempt. Holding a Green Card does not alter the tax implications in India for this scenario.

20 January 2023 Sir,

An individual who is NRI and with status of Green Card holder, wants to repatriate the PPF maturity receipts credited through his NRO a/c to his overseas bank a/c. He has never availed and opted for any DTAA benefit

Query:-

1. Can he repatriate PPF Maturity amount through NRO a/c once PPF a/c is closed on completion of its tenure.
2. Does it attract any provisions of DTAA .
3. Is this repatriation will not attract any tax liability in India as maturity amount is , "Exempt
,Exempt, Exempt " and not taxable
4. Does it make any difference in taxation in India after a individual NRI gets status of Green Card holder.

Pls guide.
