Let's clarify the requirements for an NRI (Non-Resident Indian) director receiving remuneration from an Indian company: Visa Requirements - *Employment Visa*: Typically, an employment visa is required for foreigners who intend to work in India and receive remuneration from an Indian entity. However, the requirements might differ for NRI directors. - *NRI Directors*: As an NRI director, you might not need an employment visa solely for receiving director's remuneration, but it's essential to comply with Indian regulations. Remuneration and Tax Implications - .*Tax Implications*: As an NRI, your director's remuneration would be taxable in India, and the company might need to deduct taxes accordingly.

- *DTAA*: If you're a tax resident of another country, the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between India and that country might impact the taxability of your remuneration. Recommendations -

*Consult a Tax Expert*: To understand the tax implications and compliance requirements for NRI directors. -

*Check Visa Requirements*: Verify the specific visa requirements with the Indian embassy or consulate, or consult with an immigration expert. -

*Company Compliance*: Ensure the Indian company complies with all regulatory requirements, including tax deductions and filings. By understanding the requirements, you can ensure compliance and avoid any potential issues.
