Nri Parent Indian Reit Invit Business Trust Section 115ua...

Indian REIT + InvIT + business trust held by NRI / OCI senior 60+ parent represents a deeply specialised foreign-investor asset class that combines yield-oriented Indian real-estate + infrastructure exposure with layered Section 115UA pass-through taxation + SEBI REIT Regulations 2014 / SEBI InvIT Regulations 2014 structural safeguards. Unlike direct Indian real estate (where NRI / OCI faces Section 195 TDS on rental income + Section 80IBA 100% deduction for affordable housing + Section 54 LTCG reinvestment in residential property + RERA registration + stamp duty state schedule + Section 56(2)(vii)/(xi) heir rules), REIT + InvIT + business trust units confer a securitised, listed-or-privately-placed, dematerialised, demat-account-held vehicle for indirect exposure to the underlying commercial office + retail mall + warehouse + data centre + hospital + hotel + industrial + residential properties (for REIT) and road + power transmission + gas pipeline + telecom tower + solar + wind + hydropower infrastructure (for InvIT) — all under a single SEBI-registered, trustee-supervised, SPV-pooled trust structure that NRI / OCI senior 60+ parent can subscribe to through FEMA-compliant routes without direct foreign direct investment (FDI) into the underlying immovable property.

The tax architecture under Section 115UA marks REIT + InvIT + business trust as pass-through vehicles, meaning the trust itself is generally not taxed at the entity level on its rental income + interest income + dividend income (subject to Section 10(23D) MF exemption which does not apply to REIT + InvIT + business trust) — instead, income flows through to the unit-holder hands (NRI / OCI senior 60+ parent) per Section 115UA(1) which states that the total income of the business trust — being a REIT + InvIT — shall be deemed to be the income of the unit-holder in the same proportion as the unit-holder holds units, with Section 115UA(2) treating the business trust as an Association of Persons (AOP) for TDS purposes (Section 194LBA + Section 194LBB + Section 194LBC), and Section 115UA(3) requiring the trustee + SPV to furnish statements in the prescribed form per Rule 5B of Income-tax Rules 1962. This pass-through mechanism fundamentally shifts the compliance burden from the trust to the unit-holder (NRI / OCI senior 60+ parent) — who must declare income under the head 'Income from House Property' (rental), 'Income from Capital Gains' (sale of units), 'Income from Other Sources' (interest + dividend distribution) in the Indian income-tax return Form ITR-2 (for NRI not having business income) or Form ITR-3 (for NRI having business income) — and claim DTAA benefit per Section 90 / 91 + TRC + Form 67 if eligible for treaty-rate withholding.

Senior 60+ parent estate planning angle: Indian REIT + InvIT + business trust units are ideal candidates for inheritance transmission to NRI / OCI / US / UK / CA / AU resident children because units are held in dematerialised form (CDSL / NSDL Depository Participant), nominated per SEBI circular 2018 + Companies Act 2013 Section 72 + 105 + depository rules, transmission is straightforward without probate in most cases (CDSL / NSDL Byelaws + Operating Instructions + Form TRAN-1 / TRAN-2 transmission forms + death certificate + succession certificate / Will / probate / Letters of Administration as applicable), and the cost of acquisition to the heir is the cost to the deceased per Section 49(1) read with Section 55(2) (for immovable property) or Section 55(2A) (for unlisted shares — but REIT + InvIT units are typically listed on recognised stock exchange NSE / BSE so Section 55(2A) is debated; generally Section 49(2)(iii) applies for capital asset inherited). Section 56(2)(vii) FULL EXEMPT the heir receiving REIT / InvIT / business trust unit from a specified relative (deceased parent is 'specified relative' per Section 56(2)(vii)(b) Explanation) — so no deemed gift tax on heir receiving inherited REIT / InvIT / business trust unit. However, US person children inheriting foreign REIT / InvIT unit face Form 8938 FATCA reporting if > USD 50K end-of-year (single / MFS) or > USD 300K end-of-year (MFJ) + FBAR FinCEN 114 if foreign account aggregate > USD 10K at any point during calendar year + PFIC Form 8621 (Indian REIT / InvIT is typically treated as PFIC for US tax per Section 1295 + Section 1296 + Section 1297 — QEF election requires PFIC annual information statement from Indian REIT / InvIT manager, which is rarely provided; mark-to-market per Section 1296 is the practical workaround for marketable PFIC, but Indian REIT / InvIT units may not be 'marketable' for Section 1296 purposes if thinly traded).

The TDS architecture for NRI / OCI senior 60+ parent receiving distribution from Indian REIT + InvIT + business trust is fundamentally layered. Section 194LBA(1) requires the business trust (trustee) to deduct tax at source before crediting any sum (whether interest + dividend or any other sum) to the account of, or making payment to, a unit-holder (NRI / OCI) — at the rate of (a) 10% on interest income received by the business trust from SPV (where the SPV has exercised option under Section 115BAA / Section 115BAB — domestic corporate tax rate of 22% — and the interest income is paid to non-resident unit-holder), (b) 5% on dividend income received by the business trust from SPV (where the SPV has exercised option under Section 115BAA / Section 115BAB), and (c) 30% on rental income from SPV to business trust (or any other head — corporate tax rate applicable; discussed for completeness). Section 194LBA(2) deals with the rate of TDS on the rental income from SPV to business trust (or the unit-holder where applicable). Section 194LBA(3) provides that the TDS deducted under Section 194LBA shall be treated as final tax for the unit-holder if no deduction is claimed in the return — but the unit-holder can claim credit of TDS in Form ITR-2 / ITR-3 + Form 26AS + AIS (Annual Information Statement) + claim DTAA rate if lower than domestic rate + Section 90(4) 8-year TRC retention + Form 67 mandatory per CBDT Notification 3/2022 + Circular 11/2022 + 12/2022.

Section 194LBB(1) requires the SPV to deduct tax at source at the rate of 5% on interest paid to the business trust (the invIT / REIT / business trust), before crediting the interest income to the account of, or making payment to, the business trust. This is the upstream TDS — SPV pays interest to business trust, business trust pays interest / dividend / rental to unit-holder. Section 194LBC(1) requires the securitisation trust to deduct tax at source at the rate of 25% on income distributed to the investor in the securitisation trust, with Section 194LBC(2) dealing with the corporate tax rate of 25% — but the practical effect is that securitisation trust distributions to NRI / OCI unit-holder face 25% TDS at the trust level, which may be lower than the marginal income-tax rate of 30% + 4% cess = 31.2% but significantly higher than the 10% interest TDS under Section 194LBA(1)(a) for business trust distribution. Section 194LC(1) requires the Indian company to deduct tax at source at the rate of 5% on interest payable to a non-resident (NRI / OCI) on Indian rupee-denominated bond issued by the Indian company between 1 October 2024 and 30 September 2025 — extended for the financial year 2025-26 with conditions. Section 194LD(1) requires the Indian company + business trust to deduct tax at source at the rate of 5% on interest payable to a non-resident (NRI / OCI) on infrastructure bond (long-term listed infrastructure bond) — this rate is reduced from the domestic rate of 20% / 40% (debit rate) per Section 115A(1)(b)(B) — but limited to bonds issued between 1 June 2013 and 1 July 2020 (typically expired; check SEBI RBI guidelines for current bonds). Section 194N applies to cash withdrawal > INR 1 crore in a financial year from a bank account held by a person (not specifically for REIT / InvIT distribution, but applicable if NRI / OCI accumulates cash distribution from REIT / InvIT / business trust in NRO account and withdraws > INR 1 crore — 2% TDS above INR 1 crore, 5% above INR 20 lakh if no ITR filed in last 3 years, per Section 194N(3)).

Practical compliance: NRI / OCI senior 60+ parent holding Indian REIT + InvIT + business trust units must reconcile TDS in Form 26AS + AIS (Annual Information Statement) per CBDT Circular + claim credit in Form ITR-2 / ITR-3 — if TDS deducted at the higher domestic rate (10% / 5% / 30% / 25% under Section 194LBA / 194LBB / 194LBC / 194LC / 194LD) and DTAA rate is lower (e.g. 10% interest under India-USA DTAA Article 11 vs 15% domestic — Section 90(4) 8-year TRC retention required + Form 67 mandatory), NRI / OCI must (a) apply for lower TDS certificate per Section 197 — Form 13 to the AO — for non-resident payee + payee income, with the certificate specifying the lower rate at which the deductor (business trust trustee + SPV + Indian company) shall deduct TDS, or (b) claim refund in ITR-2 / ITR-3 by filing within the due date per Section 139(1) / 139(4) / 139(5) — the refund process typically takes 6-12 months + 4% interest per Section 244A on delayed refund + 6% interest per Section 244A(1)(a) on delayed refund for international transactions per Section 244A(1A) read with Rule 84A — and proper documentation including TRC + Form 67 + Section 90(4) 8-year retention + DTAA Article 11 / 10 / 13 reference + saving clause + MAV main purpose test documentation + Form 8833 treaty disclosure (US person only — Section 6114 + 25% treaty penalty + Section 7701(b) treaty tie-breaker).

FEMA 1999 + RBI Master Direction 2024 framework for NRI / OCI senior 60+ parent investing in Indian REIT + InvIT / business trust is layered. FEMA 1999 Schedule 2 + RBI FPI Master Direction 2024 defines the FEMA FPI (Foreign Portfolio Investor) route — NRI / OCI may invest in listed REIT + InvIT / business trust units through a SEBI-registered FPI (Foreign Portfolio Investor) — typically a fund / institutional investor registered with SEBI as FPI per SEBI (Foreign Portfolio Investors) Regulations 2019, with KYC + PAN + SEBI registration + depository participant + custodian + reporting per SEBI FPI regulations. FEMA 1999 Schedule 3 + RBI PIS Master Direction 2024 defines the FEMA PIS (Portfolio Investment Scheme) route — NRI / OCI may invest in listed Indian equity + listed Indian REIT + InvIT units (NOT business trust units other than REIT / InvIT) — aggregate limit 5% of paid-up capital per NRI / OCI + 10% aggregate for all NRI / OCI — through a designated bank branch in India + PIS account + RBI reporting per RBI PIS Master Direction 2024. FEMA 1999 + RBI Master Direction 2024 requires FEMA prior RBI approval for private placement of REIT + InvIT / business trust units — typically not required for listed units but required for private placement investment > INR 50 crore per FEMA 1999 + FEMA prior RBI approval application through AD-1 bank + FEMA approval from RBI ED per FEMA 1999 + FEMA compounding if not obtained.

Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) USD 1M / year: NRI / OCI senior 60+ parent can remit up to USD 1M per financial year per FEMA 1999 + RBI Master Direction 2024 — for current account transactions (private visit + gift + donation + emigration + maintenance of close relative + business trip + medical treatment + studies abroad) + capital account transactions (acquisition of immovable property outside India + investment in shares + securities + units of business trust outside India + opening of foreign currency account outside India) — through AD-1 bank + Form A2 (Liberalised Remittance Scheme) + PAN + Aadhaar (if available) + FEMA 1999 declaration + KYC. For REIT + InvIT / business trust unit sale proceeds repatriation, the LRS limit may apply if remitting the net proceeds after capital gains tax + TDS to a foreign bank account — but for NRI / OCI investing through FEMA FPI or FEMA PIS route in listed Indian REIT + InvIT units, the sale proceeds are typically treated as current income and can be repatriated immediately without LRS limit (per RBI Circular 47/2015 + 12/2015 + FEMA 1999 + RBI Master Direction 2024 — note: this is debated for unlisted REIT / InvIT units, where FEMA compounding may apply if FEMA prior RBI approval was not obtained).

7-year NRO retention + 10-year US/UK/CA/AU retention debate for REIT / InvIT / business trust: For NRI / OCI inheriting Indian REIT + InvIT / business trust units from a resident Indian deceased, the inheritance transmission is typically treated as 'gift' from the deceased to the NRI / OCI heir under FEMA 1999 — Section 56(2)(vii) FULL EXEMPT the heir receiving REIT / InvIT / business trust unit from a specified relative (deceased parent is 'specified relative' per Section 56(2)(vii)(b) Explanation). The inheritance is typically retained in NRO demat account + NRO bank account — sale proceeds repatriated after 7-year NRO retention per FEMA 1999 + RBI Master Direction 2024 — but for REIT + InvIT / business trust units bought through FEMA FPI or FEMA PIS route, the 7-year NRO retention does not apply (sale proceeds repatriable immediately). For 10-year US/UK/CA/AU retention debate — typically applies to inheritance from a person domiciled in US / UK / CA / AU where the deceased was a long-term resident; FEMA 1999 + RBI Master Direction 2024 + CBDT Circular + Black Money Act 2015 + Form 3520 + Form 8938 FATCA + FBAR FinCEN 114 + PFIC Form 8621 + Section 671-679 grantor trust + Section 642/664 + US estate tax + gift tax + GSTT + Form 706 + Form 709 + Section 877A expatriation tax + covered expatriate + Estate Tax Treaty + Gift Tax Treaty + MAV main purpose test + Section 7701(b) treaty tie-breaker. FEMA compounding penalty up to 3x per FEMA 1999 Section 13 may apply for non-compliance — FEMA compounding application to RBI ED per FEMA 1999 Section 13(1) + FEMA compounding order per FEMA 1999 Section 13(2) + FEMA compounding circular FEMA 2017 + FEMA compounding rate per FEMA compounding master direction + FEMA compounding penalty up to 3x of the amount involved.

DTAA Article 11 interest: India-USA DTAA Article 11(2) permits 10% withholding on interest paid to US person NRI / OCI (with savings clause applying — India retains the right to tax US person on worldwide income, but treaty rate limits Indian source TDS); India-UK DTAA Article 11 — 10% or 15% depending on debt-claim; India-CA DTAA Article 11 — 15%; India-AU DTAA Article 11 — 15%; India-SG DTAA Article 11 — 10% / 15%; India-DE DTAA Article 11 — 10%. For REIT + InvIT / business trust distribution, the interest component (typically 10% of distribution under Section 194LBA(1)(a) for business trust distribution from SPV to unit-holder) is treated as 'interest' under DTAA Article 11 — the lower treaty rate may apply (10% for US person) — but the 10% domestic rate under Section 194LBA(1)(a) is typically equal to or lower than treaty rate, so DTAA benefit may not be material for interest component. However, for dividend distribution (typically 5% under Section 194LBA(1)(b) for business trust distribution from SPV to unit-holder — SPV pays dividend to business trust which pays to unit-holder; the lower rate is 5% Section 194LBA(1)(b) — but DTAA Article 10 dividend rate for US person is 15% — so Section 194LBA(1)(b) 5% is lower than treaty rate — domestic rate applies).

DTAA Article 10 dividend: India-USA DTAA Article 10(2) permits 15% withholding on dividend paid to US person NRI / OCI (with savings clause applying — India retains the right to tax US person on worldwide income, but treaty rate limits Indian source TDS); India-UK DTAA Article 10 — 10% / 15% depending on debt-claim; India-CA DTAA Article 10 — 15%; India-AU DTAA Article 10 — 15%; India-SG DTAA Article 10 — 10% / 15%; India-DE DTAA Article 10 — 10%. For REIT + InvIT / business trust distribution, the dividend component (typically 5% under Section 194LBA(1)(b)) is treated as 'dividend' under DTAA Article 10 — the lower treaty rate may apply if it is lower than 5% domestic rate (which is rare; typically treaty rate 10-15% is higher than 5% domestic rate). DTAA Article 13 capital gains: India-USA DTAA Article 13 permits 15% withholding on capital gains from sale of REIT + InvIT / business trust units (debated — India-USA DTAA Article 13(4) typically limits India's right to tax capital gains from sale of personal property; for immovable property capital gains Article 13(1) gives full taxing right to source country; for REIT / InvIT / business trust units — debated as to whether Article 13(1) immovable property gain or Article 13(4) personal property applies — typically Article 13(4) applies as units are securities, not immovable property, even if the underlying asset is immovable property).

Saving clause + MAV main purpose test: India-USA DTAA Article 1(4) saving clause reserves the right of India + US to tax their respective residents on worldwide income (the US person NRI / OCI is subject to US tax on worldwide income including Indian REIT + InvIT / business trust distribution + capital gains; Indian tax is creditable against US tax per Section 901 + Form 1116 + Section 904 limitation + high-tax kickout + Section 960 GILTI + Section 951 CFC + Section 1291 PFIC + Section 1295 QEF + Section 1296 mark-to-market). MAV (Main Purpose Test) under India-USA DTAA Article 11(5) + 10(6) + 12(5) — if the main purpose of the arrangement is to obtain treaty benefit (e.g. artificially routing income through REIT + InvIT / business trust to obtain lower TDS rate), the AO may deny treaty benefit + apply domestic rate + Section 90(5) limitation of benefits + panchnama if AO suspects non-genuine treaty claim. Form 67 mandatory per CBDT Notification 3/2022 + Circular 11/2022 + 12/2022 stricter rules — NRI / OCI must file Form 67 (acknowledgment) before ITR filing if claiming DTAA rate lower than domestic rate — Form 67 includes TRC + DTAA Article reference + MAV documentation + saving clause documentation + main purpose test + Form 8833 treaty disclosure (US person only — Section 6114 + 25% treaty penalty + Section 7701(b) treaty tie-breaker). Section 90(4) 8-year retention: TRC must be retained for 8 years from end of assessment year — Form 67 must be filed + TRC submitted to AO on demand + Section 90(5) limitation of benefits documentation.

PFIC Form 8621: Indian REIT + InvIT / business trust is typically treated as PFIC (Passive Foreign Investment Company) for US tax per Section 1295 + Section 1296 + Section 1297 — Indian REIT is a foreign corporation + 75% or more of gross income is passive (rental income + interest + dividend) + 50% or more of assets produce passive income. PFIC consequences: (a) Section 1291 excess distribution regime — excess distribution (distribution > 125% of average distribution over prior 3 years) taxed at highest ordinary income rate + interest charge + capital gains treatment denied; (b) Section 1295 QEF (Qualified Electing Fund) election — NRI / OCI must obtain PFIC annual information statement from Indian REIT + InvIT manager (rarely provided — Indian REIT + InvIT managers typically do not provide PFIC annual information statement as it is not required under Indian law); (c) Section 1296 mark-to-market election — NRI / OCI marks REIT + InvIT units to market at year-end + capital gain / loss treated as ordinary — but Indian REIT + InvIT units must be 'marketable' (regularly traded on a qualified exchange) — NSE + BSE are qualified exchanges + STT paid REIT + InvIT units regularly traded — Section 1296 election typically preferred over Section 1295 QEF election for Indian REIT + InvIT units. Form 8621 annual filing + Section 1295 QEF election or Section 1296 mark-to-market election + Section 1297(e) CFC-PFIC overlap coordination + Section 1298 CFC + PFIC + Section 1291 excess distribution + Section 1291(c)(2) rollover + Section 1291(d) basis adjustment.
