For a single-MF family holding the typical chain is: senior 60+ parent NRI / OCI invests Indian savings via SIP weekly / monthly / quarterly into equity + debt + hybrid + ELSS + Index Fund + ETF + FoF + liquid; SIP / lumpsum tracked via PAN + Aadhaar OR OCI card + passport + FATCA CRS + NRE / NRO demat (CDSL / NSDL); senior 60+ parent redeems MF units after holding period (12 months for equity / 36 months for non-equity); pays Section 111A STCG 15% (equity) OR Section 112A LTCG 10% (equity + > INR 1 lakh aggregate) OR Section 112 LTCG 20% (non-equity + 4% cess); Section 195 NRI TDS + DTAA rate; FEMA Form A2 + AD-1 + USD 1M / year LRS; on death of senior 60+ parent, Indian Succession Act 1925 + Will + codicil + executor + LoA + succession certificate + Hindu Succession Act 1956 Section 6 coparcener + Indian Trust Act 1882 Section 3+5+6 trust deed + FEMA NRO for heir; heir inherits nominee rights per AMC nomination + SEBI MF Regulations 1996; Section 56(2)(vii) FULL EXEMPT for nominee from specified relative (debated for MF); Section 49(2)(iii) cost inheritance applies; pays Section 111A / 112A / 112 on subsequent sale; files ITR + Schedule CG + Schedule FA + Schedule FSI + Schedule TR + Form 26AS + Form 16A + Form 67 (DTAA); retains TRC + Form 67 for 8 years per Section 90(4); reports Form 8938 FATCA + FBAR FinCEN 114 + PFIC Form 8621 for foreign MF; repatriates via FEMA NRO within USD 1M / year LRS after 7-year retention debated (typically repatriable immediately per RBI Circular 47/2015 + 12/2015); files Form 3520 + Form 3520-A if foreign trust holds MF; pays Section 6662 20-40% accuracy + Section 6663 75% fraud + Section 6677 USD 10,000 if undisclosed; FEMA compounding penalty up to 3x per FEMA 1999 Section 13. The compliance choreography is repetitive but the risk surface is wide — Section 50CA FMV debate for unlisted MF + Section 111A vs Section 112A STT debate for equity MF + Section 112 LTCG debate for non-equity MF + Indexation NOT applicable per Section 48(ii) proviso + Section 80C ELSS 3-year lock-in + PFIC Form 8621 typically required for foreign MF + DTAA Article 13 + Section 90(4) TRC + Section 90(5) panchnama + FEMA 7-year retention debate — all need careful coordination. Senior 60+ parent estate NRI / OCI Indian Mutual Fund holding is governed by every layer simultaneously — there is no shortcut, no opt-out, no small case exemption. Always engage CA + lawyer + FEMA expert + MF expert + SEBI expert + US tax preparer jointly.
