Nre to residential account

Tax planning 212 views 7 replies

Hello there

Myself shivani mehta

My mother was a born nri n she is now 76 years old. In april 2022 my dad expired so my mother shifted to india in july 2022 from east africa. In beginning she was willing to go back but later we made her understand not to stay alone in east africa so she agreed to stay in india. She had nre fixed deposits which we broke and transferred all money to my savings which is a residential account. Now we gave bank a letter to close down the nre n nro account forever.

I am having interest income of approx rs. 5.50 lacs every year n accordingly i file my returns. Now my mother transfered almost 95 lacs in my account in january 2023 so my interest income will definitely rise so i told my mother to open a residential account on her name with mine as joint but then she needs to file returns, pay taxes n also link pan with aadhar coz being an nri she dint have to do any such thing

She finds all these headache at this age n says that i instead keep all money n pay tax. 

What should i do

I hv no other income of any kind

Kindly advise. 

Thank you all in advance

How can i save tax if i keep all money on my name or if i re transfer on my mother name as resident account then what will she have to face

I strongly suggest , open new account in joint your name and your mother name. Then you manage all filings. Now a days everything is online and you don't have to go here and there.

I can also do return filings and other things online on phone.

Hello

Thank you for reply

But her aadhar n pan not linked plus she never filed returns earlier

All these can create any issue n if i open new acct shud i open in new financial year or now itself

Also if u can gv ur number it will be helpful

Thank you

1. Link PAN With Aadhaar on the income tax website

2. Instead of opening a joint account, open two accounts- one in your name & one in your mother's name so that the tax could be saved

3. Make tax-saving investments. The benefit of old & new regimes also to be seen

4. Open saving a/c now instead of next year so that the benefit of slab rates can be enjoyed.

 

In case of any further queries, kindly mail me at casoravgupta @ gmail.com.

Will she hv to pay penalty for linking pan n aadhar? 

Yes charges of 1000 need to be paid
If huge funds are accumulated in one individual account then it's very easy to shrugg off those issues.
1. tax saving mutual funds.
2. 80c chapter via
3. Mediclaim.
4. Sec 24 repairs deduction and other allowable expenditure.
