The NRE account can be used to deposit or remit income that you earn abroad

 

For the purpose of determining your income tax liability, it is the definition of residential status under the Income Tax Act that you need to bear in mind. So, if you stay in India for 182 days or more during the financial year, you will be considered as a resident.

 

For the current financial year, it appears that your stay in India will exceed the limit since you are planning to move out in January. Hence, you will be treated as a resident and your global income will be liable to tax in India. However, from subsequent years you will be a non-resident if your stay in India is less than 182 days in that financial year. As regards filing of income tax return, you are not required to file the return before leaving India.

 

You can file your return online via the income tax website. Hence, you don't need to be physically present in India for this purpose. With regards to your bank account, you will need to intimate to your bankers about the change in your residential status.

 

You need not open a separate bank account; your existing bank accounts can be converted into an NRO account. You can continue to receive direct credits such as dividends into your redesignated account. Similarly, ECS for the existing home loan can continue from the NRO account. Check with your bankers for any additional paperwork that may be required. You may need to give a fresh ECS mandate if the bank account is converted into an NRO account. It is also possible to make the repayment of your home loan from the NRE account.

 

As a non-resident Indian (NRI), there is no restriction on obtaining a home loan for acquisition of residential property. The repayment of loan through equated monthly instalments can be made either through the NRO account or through the NRE account. The NRE account can be used to deposit or remit income that you earn abroad.

 

The money lying in this account is freely repatriable outside India at any point of time. This account can be used to make investments which on sale or maturity will be freely repatriable.
