Moving money back to India.

I need to move some money back to India, close to $160K .

Was thinking use zoom and move on chunks of 10K one weekly basis .

I am still a green card holder and applied for reentry permit on my way out.

Do you see any concerns ?

Destination will be Resident INR account.

Most of my money $800K + is invested in IBKR. The money I am moving is in checking and is my liquid funds and want to move this to India to have liquidity in case of emergencies needs and also earn some interest.

I asked about FCR, hdfc folks at the front desk don’t know what it is and KVB said they can give me a current account without any interest, but KVB recommended IOB or bank of Boroda if I want to earn interest . Not sure if i want to go this route.

Have you done this ? Any suggestions??

I moving to India in June, Green card holder , planning to retain it for few years. Do I file W-8BEN or not?

To maintain green card I believe I should file resident taxes, in this case do I file W8-BEN ?

If yes when do I do that, since at least for 2026 I have to file resident as I worked here for almost 6 months..
