RNOR Status Calculator

Answer a few questions about your time spent in India and get an estimate of your residential status and how many years of your RNOR tax-planning window remain. Full mechanics behind these tests are in the RNOR status explained guide.

Days physically present in India in the current financial year (Apr–Mar)

Count actual calendar days spent in India this financial year, including partial days.

Total days present in India across the preceding 4 financial years combined

Add up your days in India for each of the last 4 financial years. Enter 0 if you were abroad the whole time.

Total days present in India across the preceding 7 financial years combined

This should include the same 4 years above, plus the 3 years before that.

In how many of the preceding 10 financial years were you a tax Resident of India?

If you're unsure, 0 is the right answer for most long-term NRIs returning for the first time in years.

Citizenship / status

Total Indian income this year (excluding foreign income)

Are you leaving India for employment abroad this financial year? (not applicable if you're returning)

Are you liable to pay tax in any other country/territory by reason of domicile or residence there?

This is an estimate for planning purposes only, not tax advice. Residential status has edge cases (deemed residency, treaty tie-breaker rules, exact day-count evidence) not fully captured here — confirm with a CA before filing. Talk to a CA who specializes in NRI returns

What to do with your result

RNOR: your foreign-sourced income generally stays outside India's tax net for now. See the repatriation guide for how to sequence foreign asset decisions while this window is open.
Resident & Ordinarily Resident (ROR): your global income is now taxable in India, and foreign assets need disclosure. See the tax implications guide for how to handle it correctly.
Non-Resident: the full return timeline hasn't started for you yet, or you don't meet the resident tests this year — see the full moving-back guide for the broader relocation checklist.
