*🚨 US Plans 5% Tax on Remittances by Immigrants – Big Blow to Indian NRIs ❓*
A new bill proposed by US House Republicans could levy a 5% excise tax on all remittances sent by non-citizens — including:
🧑💻 H-1B holders
🎓 F-1 visa students
🟩 Green card holders
*Why ❓*
To plug US fiscal deficits, fund Trump-era tax cuts & curb immigration flows.
*💸 Why This Is a Big Deal for Indian-Americans & NRIs*
*🇮🇳 India = World's #1 Remittance Receiver*
$125 Billion in 2023
$33.2 Billion came just from the US (27%)
That’s ~1% of India’s GDP!
Now imagine —
🧾 5% tax = $1.66 Billion (~₹14,175 Cr)
Just for sending money home!
*📉 How It Impacts NRIs & Indian Economy*
🏡 NRI Families:
Lower monthly income for parents, education, medical bills
Less money to invest in Indian real estate, mutual funds, startups
*🌍 Indian Economy:*
States like Kerala, Punjab, Maharashtra could see a dip in consumption
Real estate and capital markets may lose a key inflow
Multiplier effect = ₹20,000–₹25,000 Cr economic hit
*📢 NRI Investors: Time to Act Smart!*
If you’re planning:
✔️ To invest in property
✔️ To send money for family
✔️ Or to park funds in Indian markets
This may be your last tax-free window!
👉 Use NRI-compliant investment routes
👉 Make sure all remittances follow RBI & FEMA guidelines
👉 Stay tuned — this is still a proposal but gaining traction
