🇮🇳 NRI essentials

Reminder: Most startup investments are auto-route for NRIs except defence, atomic energy, real estate, lottery, gambling. Funds from NRE stay fully repatriable. Selling shares triggers LTCG (12.5%) if held >24 months — TDS 10% withheld at sale.

✅ Qualitative checklist

0 / 10 checks complete

Not investment advice. Scores financial health and due-diligence completeness. A high score means the numbers are clean, not that this is the right investment for your portfolio. Always consult a SEBI-registered RIA for personal advice.

◆ Want it hand-scored? · $500

Same framework, written by a human, with the work the calculator can't do.

A 6–10 page PDF, personally written. Five business days. The free Scorecard above runs the math on inputs you give it. The paid version adds the manual investigation work that catches what the math can't see.

What $500 adds beyond the free Scorecard
✓ Manual MCA filings pull — actual cap table from RoC, not founder's claim
✓ Comparable round data — what similar startups raised at, real comps
✓ Sector + regulatory deep-dive — FEMA route, RBI, SEBI exposure by hand
✓ Founder background check — track record, prior exits, signals the calculator misses
✓ 6 India-specific red-flag checks by someone writing angel cheques personally
✓ One revision included + 5-day turnaround + branded PDF you can share
