Mr. and Mrs. Gupta, both 45 years old, were employed with multinational companies in the United States for the past 20 years. They’ve left their jobs to start a venture in India, funded by a Silicon Valley-based Venture fund. They own a house in the USA, rented out to tenants. Their retirement investments in the USA are tax-deferred, meaning contributions and earnings are taxed upon withdrawal. They’ve taken substantial life insurance policies, with a payout of USD 1 million each if either passes away within the next 15 years. Their employer-provided health insurance in the USA is valid until the end of the year, but they need to decide whether to renew it independently. They have questions about their relocation and would like your opinion.
Q)After they become resident in India as per Indian tax laws they will have to pay tax in India on their rental Income from the US property. Is this statement true ?
