India-Side Compliance, Handled — Without You Chasing Five Different People

No, and we're upfront about this: FinanceBridge is not a Chartered Accountancy firm. We're a coordination service — we connect you with vetted, independent CAs and professionals in India who are qualified to handle your specific need, manage the process end-to-end on your behalf, and give you one English-speaking point of contact instead of chasing multiple vendors across time zones.

NRIs typically need several different specialists for India-side compliance — a CA for ITR filing, another for property TDS certificates, someone who understands FEMA rules, a bank contact for NRO/NRE matters — and coordinating all of that from the US, UK, Canada, or Australia across a 9.5-13 hour time difference is genuinely difficult. We remove that coordination burden.

Yes, this is one of the most common reasons NRIs come to us. TDS on an NRI property sale applies to the full sale value, not just the capital gain, unless a Lower Deduction Certificate (Form 13) is obtained in advance — we coordinate this process with a qualified CA to avoid excess TDS being deducted.

FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act) governs how NRIs can hold property, receive gifts, repatriate funds, and manage NRO/NRE accounts in India. Getting FEMA classification wrong on a transaction can create real compliance problems later — we make sure the right FEMA rules are applied to your specific situation before money moves, not after.

Yes. Repatriation rules differ depending on the source of funds — inherited property sale proceeds are capped differently than regular NRO account transfers under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS). We coordinate the CA certification and bank documentation needed to repatriate funds correctly.

Yes. If you're paying tax in both India and your country of residence (US, UK, Canada, Australia) on the same income, DTAA provisions can reduce or eliminate double taxation — but claiming them correctly requires a Tax Residency Certificate and the right forms filed on both sides. We coordinate this with CAs experienced in cross-border filings.

Yes. Catching up on back-filing, responding to old notices, and reconciling TDS credits against Form 26AS is a common starting point for many NRI clients. We'll assess your specific backlog and connect you with a CA who handles catch-up filings.

Pricing depends on which service you need and its complexity — a straightforward annual ITR filing costs less than a property sale TDS certificate process. We give you a clear quote after understanding your situation, with no hidden coordination fees on top of the CA's professional fee.

We work only with ICAI-registered Chartered Accountants and professionals with a specific, verifiable track record in NRI matters — not general practice CAs handling an NRI case occasionally. If a case needs specialized expertise we don't have a strong existing relationship for, we'll tell you rather than force a poor match.

This is exactly the coordination problem we exist to solve. We manage document collection, status updates, and scheduling asynchronously wherever possible, and arrange calls at times that work for US, UK, Canada, and Australia timezones rather than expecting you to be available during Indian business hours.

We can connect you with the right professionals for succession certificates, legal heir certificates, and asset transfer coordination when a family member has passed away and left assets in India — this is a common and time-sensitive need we regularly help coordinate.

Book a free consultation and tell us your specific situation — property sale, annual filing, FEMA question, repatriation, or something else. We'll tell you honestly what's involved and connect you with the right professional within 48 hours.
