Hello again,
I think it is correct to say both of the following sentences to mean that I am permanently based in New York.

“I am based out of New York”

“I am based in India”
What is the difference (if any)?

I would presume that ‘based out of’ indicates that although New York is your base, you regularly travel to places outside that area.
I’m only guessing though. I’ve never heard that usage in the UK.
