Q283. OCI holders must also pay taxes in India
Question: I work for a multinational company that says that they have to pay taxes to the govt. of India if their US employees work in India for more than a month. Is this true even if the employees have an OCI card? Thanks in advance for your response. Swarna
Answer: While other US employees of your company would need a valid work visa to work in India, your OCI status allows you to work in India. However having OCI status does NOT provide exemption from paying taxes due to the Indian Govt.
