This will erase all your saved answers and progress. This can't be undone.
MISSION 1
The NRI Passport
Before any goal, tax plan or investment makes sense, we need to know one thing clearly:
where do you actually stand?
Citizenship, residency and FEMA status are three different things — and mixing them up is
the single most common mistake NRIs make. This mission builds your first official document:
your NRI status profile.
Indian citizen
OCI cardholder
PIO cardholder
Foreign citizen, no OCI/PIO
This tool is built for Indian citizens and OCI cardholders. If you're a PIO or a foreign citizen without OCI, we'll still show you the education — but recommend a professional check earlier.
Count part-days as full days, including the day you arrive and the day you leave.

Your indicative status
—
This is an educational indication, not a tax opinion. A tax professional should confirm it before you file a return or restructure any assets.
Your documentation checklist
Passport, including the visa or residence-permit pages showing your stay abroad
PAN card
OCI or PIO card, if applicable
Proof of your overseas address (utility bill, lease, or bank statement)
Updated bank KYC — converting resident savings accounts to NRO, and opening NRE/FCNR accounts as needed
Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) from your country of residence, if you plan to claim tax-treaty (DTAA) benefits
MISSION 2
The Money Map
Most NRIs can answer "roughly how much do I earn?" — but far fewer can answer
where that money actually goes: how much stays abroad, how much crosses into India,
how much gets spent, and how much genuinely gets invested.
This mission makes those invisible flows visible, so "I have money in India" becomes something
much more precise.
Enter the approximate INR equivalent so we can compare everything on one scale.

The total amount you actively move from abroad into India each month, for any purpose — investing, supporting family, paying EMIs, and so on. It's fine if this overlaps with amounts above.

Cash Flow Cartographer
Your monthly money map
These figures follow simple, stated assumptions — they're a starting map, not a certified financial statement. "Currency risk" and "difficult to repatriate" estimates will sharpen once we map your actual accounts in Mission 3 (Account Academy).
MISSION 3
Account Academy
NRE, NRO, FCNR — three account types that look similar but behave very differently
when it comes to repatriation, tax and documentation.
Rather than memorising definitions, we'll walk through the real situations that decide which
route matters to you — then map exactly where your money in India currently sits.
Income from India
You receive Indian rent
You earn interest or dividends from Indian investments
You want to pay Indian utility bills or EMIs
Sending money between countries
You want to send foreign salary to India
You want to fund your parents' expenses
You want to gift money to relatives in India or abroad
You want to repatriate funds to meet overseas obligations
Property & big transactions
You want to receive property sale proceeds in India
You want to remit sale proceeds abroad
You inherited Indian assets
Investments & savings
You invest in Indian mutual funds or equities
You want fixed deposits in India while overseas
You want to hold foreign currency
You hold Indian insurance policies or pension funds
Status & accounts
You may return to India in three years
You recently changed your residential status
You hold joint accounts with resident Indians
Now let's map where your money in India actually sits. Rough estimates are fine — this becomes your
Account-Purpose and Repatriation Map.

Your Account-Purpose and Repatriation Map
What your situations mean for you
This is education, not a universal transaction instruction. The correct route depends on the source of funds, the specific asset, documentation on hand, and current regulations — always confirm with your bank or a professional before moving money.
MISSION 4
The Safety Shield
Building wealth matters less if a single bad event — a job loss, a health scare, an
unexpected death — can undo years of it. This mission isn't about growing your money;
it's about making sure nothing can wipe it out.
We'll check emergency funds, insurance, nominees and wills — and give you a clear
Protection-Gap Report at the end.

This is different from a nominee or a joint account — neither of those lets someone operate your account while you're alive, and a nominee can't operate it even after your death, only claim the balance. A PoA is what actually gives someone that operating access.

Full checklist
This is a starting checklist, not personalised financial or legal advice. How much cover you need, and how your will should be structured, depends on your full circumstances — a licensed insurance advisor or estate lawyer should confirm specifics.
MISSION 5
Goal Mountain
"I want to be financially secure" isn't a goal — it's a feeling. This mission turns your
ambitions into real numbers: an amount, a date, a currency, and a plan.
Add as many goals as apply to you — retirement, a child's education, a house, anything —
and we'll show you three honest paths for each: Conservative, Base and Ambitious.
One tip: if a plan has multiple parts — say, retiring overseas, funding a
child's education, and keeping a return-to-India option open — add each part as its own
goal rather than one big combined one. Separate goals give you a clearer, more accurate picture.
Add a goal
Keep each goal to one specific target. If your plan has several parts — say, retiring overseas and your child's education and a return-to-India fund — add each one separately below rather than trying to fit them all into one entry.

Goal Builder
These are illustrative scenarios, not promises. Assumptions used (only where you left future cost blank): inflation of 6%/year for India-based goals and 3%/year for overseas goals — except education goals, which use 4%/year (India) and 5%/year (overseas) to reflect faster-rising education costs. Investment returns assumed: 5% (Conservative), 8% (Base) and 11% (Ambitious) per year. Actual results depend on markets, and currency conversion between goals isn't modelled — each goal stays in its own currency.

MISSION 6
Investment Islands
Instead of a catalogue of products to buy, think of your money as living on different
"islands" — each with its own purpose, risk, and role. Tap into each island below to learn
five things: what it is, why an NRI might use it, what can go wrong, how liquid it is, and
what to check on tax, currency and documentation.
Then we'll connect this back to the actual goals you built in Goal Mountain.

Island Hopper
This is directional education, not personalised advice. These island suggestions are based on your goal's time horizon and type only — not your full financial picture. A licensed investment adviser should confirm any actual allocation.

MISSION 7
Tax Detective
Tax shouldn't be taught as a table of rates to memorise — it's a sequence of decisions.
For any income or transaction, the questions that actually matter are: what type of income
is this, where did it arise, who owns the asset, when was it acquired, how was it funded,
is there a tax treaty, is tax being withheld, and has your residency changed this year?
This mission walks through those decisions for whichever situations apply to you, and ends
with a personal tax-planning checklist and tax calendar — each item labelled
clearly by how confident you can be in it.
How to read your results: Educational explanation — general, well-established rule. Needs document verification — depends on your specific paperwork. Tax professional review required — get a CA to confirm before acting. Legal or FEMA review required — genuinely case-specific territory.

This is educational, not tax advice. Rates and thresholds shown reflect current rules and change with nearly every Budget — always confirm current figures with a tax professional before filing or making a decision based on them.

MISSION 8
Action Command Centre
You've done the diagnosis — status, cash flow, accounts, protection, goals, investments,
and tax. This mission doesn't ask you anything new. It reads back through everything you've
already told this app and turns it into one thing: a prioritised action plan,
sorted into what to do in the next 30 days, the next 90 days, and over the coming year.

MISSION 9
Annual Reset
Every plan goes stale — a new job, a move, a new family member, a Budget that changes the
rates you relied on. This closing mission isn't about starting over. It's about checking
what's changed, pointing you back to exactly the right missions, and giving you an updated
NRI Wealth Passport and annual progress report.
