401k Complete Guide for Indians in the US — Including the Zero-Tax India Exit

Описание: 401k for NRI Moving Back to India — Pay ZERO Indian Tax Legally (2026 Guide) If you're an Indian working in the US, your 401k could be one of the most powerful wealth-building tools you have — or one of the most expensive mistakes you make when you move home. In this video, I break down everything you need to know: how a 401k works, how to never miss your employer's free match, and — most importantly — the legal RNOR window that lets you bring your money back to India without paying a rupee in Indian tax.

What you'll learn:
1. What a Traditional vs Roth 401k actually means for you
2. Why not contributing your full employer match is like refusing part of your salary
3. The 5 options you have when you leave the US — and which one is right for you
4. The RNOR phase: the legal, time-limited window where 401k withdrawals are fully exempt from Indian tax
5. Section 89A and Form 10EE — your safety net once RNOR expires
6. How the India–US DTAA prevents double taxation (and what happens if you miss it)
7. Why your estate tax exposure as a non-resident drops to just $60,000 — and why that matters
