Port Blair, officially renamed Sri Vijaya Puram in 2024, is the capital and transport hub of the Andaman Islands, with ferries to the beaches and dive sites of Swaraj Dweep (Havelock) and Shaheed Dweep (Neil). A submarine cable has improved internet since 2020, but connections are still less reliable than on the mainland, the monsoon is long and wet, and some islands and tribal reserves are off-limits.

Do you pay tax here on income from abroad?

Tax status · India

Work done in India is taxed up to about 39%; foreign investment income is untaxed for roughly your first two years

Worldwide income

Pay for work you do while in India is Indian income whoever pays it, taxed at 0%–30% under the default new regime (nothing up to ₹12 lakh for residents) plus surcharge and 4% cess. Foreign dividends, interest, gains, rent and pensions are not taxed while you are non-resident or "not ordinarily resident", usually your first two tax years, unless paid into India. After that India taxes worldwide income. No wealth or inheritance tax.

On the nomad visa

India has no digital nomad or remote-work visa. Most visitors use the e-Tourist Visa (30 days, 1 year or 5 years), whose listed purposes are recreation, sightseeing, visiting friends and relatives, short courses and similar; work is not among them, and the 1- and 5-year versions cap stays at 180 days per calendar year. Because the tax year runs April to March, stays either side of 1 January can still add up to 182 days. On that route you are usually non-resident: foreign investment income is not taxed, but pay for work done in India is Indian income unless the 90-day exemption or a treaty applies.

Salary from a foreign employer or fees from foreign clients

Taxed0%–30% progressive (new regime), plus surcharge above ₹50 lakh and 4% cess

Salary for services rendered in India is deemed to arise in India (Income-tax Act, 2025, section 9(3)), so a foreign employer's pay for days you work from India is taxable whether you are resident, RNOR or non-resident, and wherever it is paid. Freelancers are in the same position in practice: a resident, including an RNOR, is taxed on income arising in India and on foreign income from a profession set up in India (section 5(1)(c)); the Act has no salary-style rule spelling this out for fees, so this profile treats fees for work done in India as taxable. The default new regime (section 202) charges nil up to ₹4 lakh, then 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% in ₹4 lakh steps, and 30% above ₹24 lakh; a resident with income up to ₹12 lakh gets a rebate that wipes out the tax (section 156(2)). Surcharge (10% above ₹50 lakh, 15% above ₹1 crore, 25% above ₹2 crore) and 4% Health and Education Cess come on top (Finance Act, 2026). A foreign national employed by a foreign enterprise with no business in India is exempt if in India 90 days or less in the tax year (see regimes). A tax treaty applies where it is more beneficial (section 159), so check its employment article. This profile could not load the EPFO site to confirm how Indian social security treats someone paid by a foreign employer.

On the nomad visa

Not ordinarily resident (RNOR) status2 years
Foreign income stays outside Indian tax unless it is received in India or comes from a business controlled in or a profession set up in India (section 5(1)(c)). Indian-source income, including pay for work done in India, is taxed normally. Usually lasts two tax years, sometimes three.
Who qualifies: Automatic for a resident who was non-resident in 9 of the 10 previous tax years, or in India for 729 days or less in the previous 7 tax years (section 6(13)). No application is needed.
Short-stay exemption for employees of foreign enterprises (Schedule IV)no fixed end
Salary for services rendered during the stay in India is not taxed at all.
Who qualifies: A foreign national employed by a foreign enterprise that does no business in India, who stays in India 90 days or less in the tax year, where the salary is not deducted from the employer's Indian taxable income.
Presumptive taxation for professionals (section 58)no fixed end
Profit is taken as 50% of gross receipts (or more if you declare more), taxed at the normal rates, so half of your fees are taxed and you need not keep full books or an audit. Claiming lower profit requires books and an audit.
Who qualifies: Resident individuals (including RNORs) in a specified profession: legal, medical, engineering, architectural, accountancy, technical consultancy, interior decoration, information technology, company secretary or another profession notified by the CBDT, with gross receipts up to ₹50 lakh, or ₹75 lakh if cash receipts are no more than 5%.
Foreign-income exemption for experts under a notified scheme (Schedule IV, Finance Act, 2026)5 years
Income that arises outside India and is not deemed to arise in India is exempt for five consecutive tax years from the first visit, even after becoming resident. Effective from tax year 2026-27; this profile could not confirm that any scheme had been notified by 27 October 2026.
Who qualifies: An individual who was non-resident for the five tax years before first visiting India to render services in connection with a Central Government scheme notified for this purpose, and who meets the prescribed conditions.
