Free · AI-powered · No GPS tracking
Your India day count, built automatically from the tickets already in your Gmail and calendar. Know your residential status for FY 2026-27 months before you cross the 182-day line — no spreadsheets, no GPS, no fees.
Read-only access. We store only short booking details — flight numbers, dates, confirmation codes — never full emails.
With e-gates, there's no ink stamp to point at — and official travel-history records can lag by weeks. Your inbox is your new proof: NRI Tracker turns the flight confirmations you already have into an evidence-backed day count for your residential status.
Three steps from inbox to an audit-ready day count.
We scan for flight confirmations, tickets and hotel bookings. No GPS, no "Always Allow" location, no battery drain. Prefer manual? Skip connections and log trips yourself.
Detected trips land in your Review Inbox with the e-ticket details as the receipt. Nothing enters your timeline until you approve it — you stay in control.
Days in India, buffer days left, and your Safe / At Risk / Resident verdict for the financial year — plus the latest date you can safely leave India.
Built for NRIs juggling the 182-day line, the 120-day trap, and a CA who wants proof.
The 182-day rule, the 60-day alternate test, and the 120-day rule for Indian income above ₹15 lakh — applied to the Indian financial year, with arrival and departure days both counted. Unverified days count as India days, so the verdict never flatters you.
Flights and hotels found in your Gmail and calendar become suggested trips, each backed by flight numbers, dates and confirmation codes. Import your Maps Timeline too — parsed 100% on your device.
Sketch a future trip and watch the impact on your day count and status instantly, including the latest date you can safely leave India this financial year.
Tap any number to see the exact day-by-day working — every arrival, departure and counted day, with the rule it comes from. No black box.
Your travel history on a timeline and an interactive globe, with the evidence source behind every stay — Gmail, calendar, Maps or manual.
Every feature is free. Works on your phone and desktop, with a night-flight dark mode included.
Residency tracking shouldn't mean handing an app your live location for years.
We never ask for your location, let alone "Always Allow". Your day count comes from bookings you already have — not from surveilling your phone.
Gmail and Calendar access is read-only. We keep only short booking details — flight numbers, dates, confirmation codes — never full emails.
Every detected trip waits in your Review Inbox until you approve it. Edit or remove anything; Maps Timeline files are parsed entirely on your device.
Skip the connections and track manually, or delete your data whenever you want. Your travel history is yours.
How NRI Tracker compares with the usual ways NRIs count their days.
| NRI Tracker | GPS tracker apps | Spreadsheets | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free | ₹2,000+ per year | Free, but your time |
| How days are captured | Flight & hotel bookings from Gmail and calendar, approved by you | Continuous GPS with "Always Allow" location | You remember to type every trip |
| Privacy & battery | Read-only email metadata; no location, no battery drain | Live location 24/7; battery cost | Private, but no evidence attached |
| Income Tax Act counting rules | 182 / 120 / 60-day rules, FY-aware, arrival & departure days counted | Varies by app; many count arrival days wrong | Only as correct as your formulas |
| Evidence if questioned | Flight numbers, dates and confirmation codes behind every stay | Location logs, uploaded documents | None |
Under Section 6 of the Income Tax Act, you are a tax resident of India for a financial year (April–March) if you spend 182 days or more in India during that year. Stay 181 days or fewer and you generally remain a Non-Resident — which is why a single miscounted day can change the tax treatment of your entire global income.
Yes. For residential status, both your arrival day and your departure day generally count as days in India — even a few minutes past midnight counts as a full day. NRI Tracker counts this way by default, and any day it cannot verify is conservatively counted as an India day.
Since FY 2020-21, an Indian citizen or PIO whose India-sourced income exceeds ₹15 lakh can become a resident by spending just 120 days in India (combined with 365+ days over the preceding 4 years) — not 182. Many NRIs with rent, deposits, or capital gains in India cross this without realising. NRI Tracker asks about your Indian income and applies the correct threshold.
Non-Resident (NRI): India taxes only your Indian income. Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident (RNOR): a transitional status for returnees where most foreign income stays out of Indian tax. Resident and Ordinarily Resident (ROR): your global income is taxable in India. An RNOR planner that forecasts your transition years is coming soon in NRI Tracker.
India's tax year runs 1 April to 31 March (currently FY 2026-27), not the calendar year. NRI Tracker counts your days per Indian financial year automatically and lets you review any earlier year.
Yes — tracking, the residency verdict, trip planning, and the audit-ready day-math breakdown are free. No subscription and no credit card.
With your permission, we read travel bookings — flight confirmations, tickets, and hotel reservations — using read-only access. We store only short booking details such as flight numbers, dates, and confirmation codes, never full emails. Every detected trip waits for your approval, you can edit or delete anything, and you can skip connections entirely and track manually. We never track your GPS location.
With e-gates, many NRIs no longer get ink stamps, and official travel-history records can lag. Your booking emails become your practical evidence trail: NRI Tracker builds your day count from the tickets in your inbox, keeping the flight numbers and dates behind every India day so your count holds up if questioned.
