What happens to my invested funds if my residency status changes from an NRI to a RI?
For your outbound funds, nothing changes as both NRIs and RIs have no tax differences ie for both the tax is at fund level.
For inbound funds, it is recommended that you exit before your residency status changes to Resident Indian so that you can enjoy the tax exemption on the capital gains. However, if you do not, and you redeem as a resident Indian, taxes as per resident Indian will be levied.
