My mother has relinquished her share and the estate had been divided between my sister and I, after the grant of probate. My sister was the executor and as my dad died intestate inheritance tax was not liable. My problem is I am a british citizen but a resident of India. I cannot hold an NRI account in india and have normal resident savings accounts there. How should i transfer my inheritance and will i be taxed in india? My mother has an NRE account and it has been suggested that we deposit the amount into her account which she further transfers to my indian resident account as a gift. Nobody seems sure about any taxation liability i may incur if i transfer directly to my own resident account in india. Please help.
