GST Exemption for NRIs: What You Need To Know?
Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) have received a major tax relief from the Government of India, in the form of exempting them from paying Goods and Services Tax (GST). This exemption was announced as part of the Union Budget 2021. The announcement provides much needed relief to NRIs who are living abroad and are willing to buy LIC plans to secure their loved ones.
The GST is 4.5% in the first year premium and subsequently it is charged @ 2.25% of the premium amount for the remaining years.
