Employment Visa: India makes it easy for foreign nationals By TII News Service Nov 11, 2011 , New Delhi
IN a significant development India has eased the rigrour of obtaining Employment Visa by foreign nationals. As per the latest clarification issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs, the definition of Salary stipulating a threshold limit of USD 25000 per annum has been amended to include all other allowances paid in cash. Perquisites like rent-free accommodation, which are included in 'salary' for the purpose of computing income tax has now been allowed to be included to meet the minimum threshold limit notified. However, it has been clarified that any perquisite which is not included in the salary income as per the I-T Act will not be allowed to be included to scale up the figure of USD 25000. Thus, Indian employers have been advised to clearly spell out the perquisites, which are to be included in the salary for the income tax purpose, in the employment contract. The MHA has also clarified that the foreign nationals who have arrived in India on the basis of ‘E’ visa issued after 1.11.2010 and drawing annual salary of less than USD 25,000 (and not in the three exempted categories) may be registered by FRROs/FROs but all such foreigners may be granted exit by giving a maximum period of three months.
