From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. India, officially the Republic of India (Hindi: भारत गणराज्य Bhārat Gaṇarājya; see also other Indian languages), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country, and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the west, and the Bay of Bengal on the east, India has a coastline of 7,517 kilometres (4,700 mi). It is bordered by Pakistan to the west; People's Republic of China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north; and Bangladesh and Myanmar to the east. India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and Indonesia in the Indian Ocean. Home to the Indus Valley Civilisation and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history. Four major religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism originated here, while Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam arrived in the first millennium CE and shaped the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by the British East India Company from the early eighteenth century and colonised by the United Kingdom from the mid-nineteenth century, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by widespread non-violent resistance. India is a republic consisting of 28 states and seven union territories with a parliamentary system of democracy. It has the world's twelfth largest economy at market exchange rates and the fourth largest in purchasing power. Economic reforms since 1991 have transformed it into one of the fastest growing economies; however, it still suffers from high levels of poverty, illiteracy, disease, and malnutrition. A pluralistic, multilingual, and multiethnic society, India is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats. From Wikipedia under the

Therefore, time has come when people of India must think of methods through which they could write off corruption from the indian politics and from the administration in india. Asked by Dalilp Singh w - Fri Oct 3 07:55:00 2008 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments A. Corruption needs to be written off from every sector where it is present. There cannot be any written rules or norms for writing them off. Penalty, Imprisonment, Warnings have all become age old adages which dont seem to have much impact. These methods are regulatory to the extent of keeping a check on Corrupt minded people, however for Wiping it off completely only SELF-Regulation can help. Honesty and non corrupt attitude needs to come from within in the form of self realization. Awareness can be created...but Awakening needs to come from self. Answered by Viyoma R - Fri Oct 3 08:03:13 2008 What tax rules apply to a US Citizen working in India for 6 months while being on US payroll? Q. My employer is sending me to India for 6 months. I will be traveling multiple countries during that time but will alway be returning to India (company-provided guesthouse). I will be given a daily per diem while away from US and all travel expenses will be paid for by the company. At the end of 6 months, I will return to my home in California. During my stint in Asia, I will continue to maintain my home in CA and bear all related expenses. Are there any issues that need to be considered from a taxation perspective from both US and Indian law? Is there a certain period beyond which my company cannot continue to pay me in US dollars into my US account and I must pay taxes in India? If my company temporarily decides that it might be better… [cont.] Asked by AD - Sun Aug 19 03:46:41 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. You are US citizen. If you work in India for a US company and get paid by the US company in USA, then nothing will change and you will file as usual. You won't be paying any taxes in India and need not report anything in India. If you get paid in India by a company registered in India, on your pay in India you will pay taxes in India. You will also have to add this income on line 1 of your Form 1040. Then you will fill Form 1116 to claim Foreign Tax credit on line 47 of Form 1040. If your stay in India is for a longer duration than you can claim Foreign Earned Income exclusion up to around $85,000.

Answered by MukatA - Sun Aug 19 11:05:32 2007 What is the Best way to finance a house in India for an NRI?
Q. I am an NRI (in USA) and am planning on buying a house in India. I see that the current interest rates for loans in India are around 12% and think they are a lot more than the loans here in US. I don't have a house here in the US. Can I take a loan here in the US and pay for my house in India? If possible, what would the best way be? Secondly, can I claim any tax benefits for the money I would be paying towards principal, interest for the house in India while staying in USA? Asked by eternal_enthusiast - Sun Feb 4 22:54:04 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. No you can't because the U.S. banks are not licensed to do business in India. Let me make sure I explain this a little. As allot of international banks, that are also in the US are, they will go by the interest rates in India, and the loan will be from a subsidiary bank in India. Also banks in the US can't foreclose on property in another country. Don't miss understand me I know there are banks in LA that you can walk into and get a loan for a home in another country, if they do business in that country and at the rate that country will allow them to charge. And on the taxes you won't be able to claim it because the property is not in the US, and was not paid to a US bank. I have clients with property in Mexico and I do hold an… [cont.] Answered by Patrick J - Sat Feb 10 03:24:33 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "india" India is a country on the Asian continent.
