A practical guide for H1B visa holders, Green Card holders, and US NRIs who are planning to return to India and are unsure what to do with their 401(k), Traditional IRA, or Roth IRA after moving back from the USA.
In this video we walk through the major options — leaving the account untouched, withdrawing before return, using the RNOR window, withdrawing after becoming ROR, Roth conversion, and SEPP / 72(t) periodic withdrawals along with the US and Indian tax considerations, foreign asset reporting, estate tax risk, and the pre-departure checklist that most returning NRIs only think about after they have already moved.
For most returning NRIs, the 401(k) is not just an investment decision.
It sits between two tax systems.
The right approach depends on your US tax status, your Indian residential status, your age, and the exact account type you hold.
This video lays out the framework I use in client conversations, so you can think clearly before speaking to your US tax advisor and your Indian CA.
