Move to India Without Missing a Step — Before, During, and After

Planning a cross-border move to India — timeline, checklist and passports on a desk

A custom-built plan around your family's actual situation — money, career, taxes, schools, housing, and everything in between — put together by our team and priced for exactly what you need, not a generic bundle.

Tell us what you need →

Takes 3 minutes. We’ll follow up with a custom proposal, not a form-letter quote.

What a package can include

Built from the pieces your move actually needs

No two families need the same mix. These are the building blocks we draw from — tell us which ones apply and we’ll scope the rest with you.

Chartered accountant

RNOR timing, cross-border tax planning, filing support.

Career coach

Job search strategy and positioning for the Indian market.

Cross-border wealth management

What stays invested abroad vs. what moves, and how.

Estate & tax planning

Wills, nominations, and exposure across both countries.

Schools

Board selection, admission windows, transfer certificates.

Logistics

Shipping, customs, and the on-ground sequencing that turns a move date into an actual arrival.

Something else specific to your family? Tell us in the form.

Why custom, not off-the-shelf

The risk isn’t any one decision. It’s the one you forget.

01
You're not paying for pieces you don't need

A single mover with no kids and a career coach doesn't need a schools consultation bundled in. The proposal reflects your actual situation.

02
Nothing falls through the cracks between specialists

Your CA, coach, and team stay coordinated on one plan instead of you relaying context between three separate people.

03
You get a second set of eyes before you commit

The form surfaces what you might not have thought to ask about yet — that's the point of a quick intake before a quote.

How it works

From form to proposal

1
Fill out the form

Tell us your timeline, family situation, and which pieces apply to you.

2
We scope it against what you might be missing

Our team reviews your answers and flags anything typical for your situation that you didn't mention.

3
You get a custom proposal

A specific plan and quote built around your move — not a generic tier.

Get your custom proposal

Give us as many details as you can and we'll put together a plan and quote specific to your family.

No pricing shown here on purpose — every plan is quoted after we see your actual needs.

Hey, I'm Avinash

Ex-NRI of 20 years, returned in 2022. This package exists because I watched families nail the tax planning and still get blindsided by a school admission deadline, or the reverse. One coordinated plan beats five separate specialists who've never spoken to each other.

Hear it from them, not just us.

Google review screenshot — Kiran Kumar rates Desi Return 5 stars for its content and its moderated WhatsApp community for people moving back to India

I ran across Desi Return at a time when I needed it the most. The content published by DR has been a great help before our move back to India. The community created via whatsapp has been diligently maintained to ensure it composes people who are genuine motive to return to India or those who returned. They offer valuable advice, participate in debates respectfully and exchanging ideas. I hope to see DR continue to keep the quality and value offering high. Best wishes!

Google review screenshot — Kush Kapur rates Desi Return 4 stars for an engaged WhatsApp group, with a suggestion for smaller topic-specific groups

Good experience - finally a whatsapp group where people are actually engaged & you get help. Highly recommended - returning is overwhelming but you not alone - if india has anything, it has lots of nris 😜

I think improvement can be made if fewer people are in a group (eg. Have more fin groups). I rather not have to 'check 400msgs in a wk' but some people are very helpful.

Thank you Kush! Hard to keep up with the messages in the groups with active engagement

Have watched your Youtube videos and am very happy to see a very diverse group of people who share their experiences. While most of the videos address the moves back to India by younger folks with school aged kids, it was helpful to see some recent videos of seniors discussing senior living communities in India. Keep up the good work!

FAQ

Questions people ask

Because a family moving alone with no property needs a very different plan than a family with kids, aging parents, and a house to sell. We'd rather quote your actual situation than publish a number that's wrong for most people who see it.
No. You get a proposal back with no obligation to move forward.
That's normal — most families don't need everything on the list. The proposal reflects only what applies to you.
The course is self-paced and financial-only. A Quick Call answers one specific question. This is an ongoing, coordinated plan across the pieces you select, run with you through the move.
