Rakesh Sinha writes the guides on this site. He is a technology professional and a non-resident Indian since 2016, with a master’s from Carnegie Mellon University and a BTech in Computer Science from IIT Guwahati. He has worked at Microsoft, Cisco, InMobi and Google across Bengaluru, the United States and London, so he writes about the money, tax and relocation decisions Indians face after they move abroad as someone who has made them himself: which account to hold foreign salary in, how a capital gain or a tech-company RSU is actually taxed, when the RNOR window closes, and what the paperwork really demands.
The aim across every guide is simple: explain the rule in plain language, then show it with a real number, and be honest about the places where the law is unsettled rather than paper over them. Guides cite the specific section, form and date so you can verify them, and they are updated as rules change.
