30 January 2025 For the financial year 2024-25 declare him' as NRI.
His USA income is not taxable in india in view of his employment.
Bank account convert it as NRO account.
Demat account declare it as NRI.
PPF account continue with old balance.
No double taxation applicable as file ITR only for Indian income.
