Retiring in Mauritius from India
Deep cultural ties, a large Indo-Mauritian community, direct flights and a tax-efficient island — a natural retirement home for Indian families.
Mauritius has deep and long-standing ties with India: a large part of the population is of Indian origin, Hindi and Bhojpuri are widely understood, Indian food and festivals are part of everyday life, and there are direct flights from several Indian cities. For Indian retirees, it feels both familiar and international.
It is also tax-efficient — no capital-gains or inheritance tax — with excellent private healthcare. We secure the retirement permit and manage the move, and recommend confirming the Indian remittance (LRS) and tax position with a specialist alongside our advice.

Frequently asked
How can an Indian retiree transfer income to Mauritius?
Retirees evidence the required income (at least USD 2,000/month) transferred into a Mauritian account. Transfers from India are subject to RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) and reporting, so we recommend planning this with an Indian specialist while we handle the permit.
Is Mauritius a good fit for Indian retirees?
Very much so — the deep Indo-Mauritian community, familiar food and festivals, widely understood Hindi and direct flights make it one of the most comfortable international retirement destinations for Indian families.
