FAQs

United Kingdom questions

How much can an individual send abroad?
Resident individuals may remit up to the annual Liberalised Remittance Scheme limit per financial year for permitted purposes, including investment. The limit is reviewed periodically, so we confirm the current figure before planning.
What is the difference between LRS and ODI?
LRS is for resident individuals remitting personal funds. ODI is the route an Indian company uses to invest in a foreign entity, and it carries heavier documentation and annual reporting.
Does buying property abroad give me residency?
In some countries a qualifying investment supports a residence permit; in many others it does not. We separate the investment case from the residency case rather than blending them into a sales pitch.
Do I have to declare foreign assets in India?
Yes. Resident taxpayers must disclose foreign assets and income in their Indian return. Non-disclosure carries serious consequences, and it is entirely avoidable.
Can I invest through a company instead?
Often that is the better answer — for liability, succession and future funding. It also changes the compliance route from LRS to ODI, which needs planning before money moves.
