Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) based in the USA who invest in India. It covers potential US tax liabilities on various investments like direct equity, mutual funds, property, and gifts, as well as capital gains tax in India. The advice suggests that while initial investment in property isn't taxed, capital gains on sale are. Gifts may be considered income shifting and taxed in the NRI's hands. Disclosure of foreign assets is generally required in both countries.

1. Declaration is needed in any case. rate depends on DTAA agreement.
2. For investing there is no tax. on sale capital gain arises.
3.yes in this case it will be considered as shifting of income and it will be taxed only in your hand. capital gain does have categories so depends what rate applies.
