Being a foreigner what are the requirements for an expat coming to India on employment or business purpose?
The first requirement for an expat is to apply for work permit, i.e., employment visa (E-visa) or business visa. Anemployment visa will be granted to a foreign national if his or her salary exceeds US$25,000 per annum.
What should an expat do soon after arriving in India?
Firstly, expats who have a visa that's valid for more than 180 days (and/or those who intend to stay in India for more than 180 days) will need to register with the Foreigners' Regional Registration Office (FRRO) within 14 days of arrival to receive a residential permit.
What are the tax compliances an expat must follow?
An expat is liable to pay taxes in India based on his/her tax residency during a fiscal year. Tax residency is dependent on the stay of that person in India, irrespective of the purpose of such stay. http://neerajbhagat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Decoding-Expat-Taxation.pdf
