    RNOR status is beneficial for the returning NRIs because it allows them to get their foreign earning without any tax, which means they don't have to pay any tax on the foreign earnings through investments, deposits, interest, rents, or business.

    If you are an RNOR and have just arrived in Indian, then you can take advantage of your RNOR status with 3 years in India from your return to the country. This means you don't have to pay any taxes which you earn outside Indian during these 3 years, but it can be taxable if you earn in India.
