Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Provisions
FEMA, Payment and Settlement Systems Act | IT Act, Sec 102 (old 68)
Analysis
Stripe Atlas / foreign Stripe: If you're collecting USD through a foreign Stripe entity (US or EU), and then repatriating to India, FEMA compliance is required. The income is taxable in India (you're a resident). Bring it in through official banking channels with proper FIRC. Razorpay settlements: Indian platform. All settlements reportable. If you have significant Razorpay volume (₹10L+/year) and it's not in your ITR, you will get a notice.
