India Budget 2021: India To Allow Nris To Set One-man Companies
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday said NRIs will be allowed to set up one person companies, definition of small companies will be revised and various provisions of the Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) Act will be decriminalised. The proposed relaxations to rules governing One Person Companies (OPCs) are expected to benefit startups and innovators
One person company (OPC) means a company formed with only one (single) person as a member, unlike the traditional manner of having at least two members to form a company.
OPCs will be allowed to "grow without any restrictions on paid up capital and turnover, allowing their conversion into any other type of company at any time, reducing the residency limit for an Indian citizen to set up an OPC from 182 days to 120 days and also allow Non Resident Indians (NRIs) to incorporate OPCs in India". OPCs, which have lesser compliance requirements, can be set up with one member.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also proposed the removal of double taxation for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) on income accrued through foreign retirement benefits accounts, the minister announced in the Union Budget session on Monday. Nirmala said the tax department will notify rules to remove hardships of double taxation faced by NRIs in certain classes.
“When Non-Resident Indians return to India, they have issues with respect to their accrued incomes in their foreign retirement accounts. This is usually due to a mismatch in taxation periods. They also face difficulties in getting credit for Indian taxes in foreign jurisdictions. I propose to notify rules for removing their hardship of double taxation,” she said.
Double taxation refers to a situation in which NRIs are taxed on the same income twice, both in India and the country of residence. While NRIs are not taxed on global income in India, they are taxed on income earned or accrued within India. This can be salary earned in India, income on fixed deposits or savings accounts, income on housing property located within India, among others. Currently, double taxation can be avoided by seeking relief through The Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA).
