    Chartered Accountant for NRIs in India – NRI Tax Filing, Property Sale Tax, FEMA and Repatriation Services

    NRIs,If you are looking for a chartered accountant for NRIs in India, you need more than routine return filing support.

As of 1 April 2026, India has moved to the Income-tax Act, 2025, and the corresponding remittance forms under the new regime include Form 145 and Form 146, which correspond to the old Form 15CA and Form 15CB.
