Story Highlights:
I moved back to India after 10 years in the US. I thought I had it all figured out until I realized that money in India speaks a different language.
Here’s how I untangled my NRI finances and started fresh without losing sleep or rupees.
💸 1. I Ignored My Foreign Bank Accounts – Big Mistake
When I returned, I didn’t close my US checking and savings accounts. That led to:

So I hired a CA. Best money I’ve spent in India. He even helped me recover TDS worth ₹87,000 I didn’t know I could claim.
🏠 3. I Was Ready to Buy Property – Without a Plan
I had ₹70L parked in my NRE account. I almost rushed into buying a flat in Noida.

“I thought my son would grow up with a global mindset. But I realized he was losing a piece of himself.”
My name is Priya, and I spent 12 years in the U.S., working as a business analyst and raising my son, Aarav, in the comfort of an upper-middle-class suburb near Dallas. Life was stable good job, good schools, Target runs on Sundays. But around the time Aarav turned 9, something started gnawing at me.
He was smart quick with math, great at spelling bees, and even better at Roblox. But when he once asked me, “Mom, do we have any relatives?” it hit me like a truck.
He had no connection to his roots.
🌍 The NRI Dilemma: Western Education vs Indian Values
Like many NRI parents, we’d enrolled Aarav in one of the top-rated public schools. But something felt off.
Sure, they taught kindness and independence, but where was the grit, the discipline, the rigor that shaped me and my husband?

It’s been a year now. Aarav still remembers his American friends, but now he talks about his robotics project and how “India is more fun because there’s always something happening.”
From a lonely child in the suburbs to a confident 10-year-old leading his school’s quiz team, our decision was validated every day.
