Bringing Tax Clarity to NRIs in Europe: Amsterdam Edition

 NRI Tax Clinic — Amsterdam Edition

5 October 2025 · Bharat D Sarawgee | BDS & CO


On 5th October 2025, Hotel Novotel Amsterdam City became the venue for an extraordinary gathering — the NRI Tax Clinic, Europe Edition — and the energy in the room said it all.



Hundreds of NRIs based in Amsterdam came together for a day packed with knowledge, clarity, and meaningful conversations. Whether they arrived with specific tax queries or a broader need to understand their financial standing in India, every attendee left with greater confidence and practical direction.

What the Day Looked Like

The session was designed to be both informative and deeply personal. Expert talks covered some of the most consequential topics for NRIs today:

  • DTAA — understanding treaty benefits and how to apply them correctly
  • Capital Gains — tax implications on Indian assets, property, and investments
  • GIFT City — opportunities and regulatory clarity for NRI investors

Beyond the presentations, what truly set this edition apart were the personalised 1-on-1 tax consultations — an opportunity for attendees to sit with experts and address their individual cross-border concerns directly, without the noise of a group setting.

A Room Full of the Right Conversations

There is something uniquely powerful about bringing NRIs together in one room with the people who can actually answer their questions. The Amsterdam edition delivered exactly that — insightful dialogue, honest discussions, and the kind of clarity that helps people make better decisions about their money and their future in India.


We are truly grateful to every NRI who joined us and made this edition such a resounding success. Your participation, curiosity, and engagement are what make these clinics worthwhile.

Speaking at NRI Nivesh's Seminar, Kuala Lumpur — Will & Inheritance for NRIs We were pleased to bring our ongoing collaboration with NRI Nivesh to Malaysia, as our Partner, Mr. Bharat D Sarawgee , addressed the NRI community on July 26, 2025, at the prestigious Le Méridien, Kuala Lumpur — for an important and engaging session on Will & Inheritance planning for Non-Resident Indians . About the Session For NRIs settled across Southeast Asia, India remains a central part of their financial identity — through property, investments, family businesses, and generational wealth. Yet the legal and financial architecture needed to protect and transfer that wealth is one that far too many NRIs leave unaddressed. A missing or poorly drafted Will, an unclear inheritance structure, or an unfamiliarity with Indian succession laws can expose families to years of legal uncertainty, unnecessary tax liabilities, and painful disputes — all of which are entirely avoidable with the right plann...
