Stage 1
Before you fly
- List every account you hold, in every country. Bank, brokerage, retirement and insurance.
- Find out which ones you can keep open as an Indian resident. Retirement accounts often stay where they are.
- If you're a US citizen or green card holder, pause before buying Indian mutual funds. US tax rules can treat them harshly. Many Indian fund houses also don't accept investors based in the US or Canada. Speak to a cross-border tax adviser first.
