Quick Summary

An NRI client invested ₹20 Lakhs in an Indian startup and has received ₹22.50 Lakhs back. The situation is complicated by an oral agreement for a 10% company stake, with 5% already received and the remaining 5% now demanded based on current valuation. The discussion aims to clarify the income tax implications for the client on the funds received and explore the possibility of transferring future funds directly to their foreign bank account in foreign currency.
