    @Peyush , Namaste ji

     

    (a) are you a US person ( citizen/ GreenCard )?    Are you also a citizen of India ? 

    (b)  Assuming your 401(k) was based on your work here in the USA  and you want to make  distribution ,   you are doing a  total or partial or what?

    (c)  How long were you a US person, if you have  abandoned  your  US personage ( citizen  or GreenCard ) -- what I am trying to find out is if  you had to pay  " Exit" tax.

     

    I will circle back once I hear from you --yes ?
