Frequently Asked Questions

Who qualifies as a Non-Resident Indian (NRI)?

add icon

You are considered an NRI if you do not meet either of the following conditions:

1. Stayed in India 182 days or more during the financial year
2. Stayed in India for 60 days or more in the year and 365 days or more in the preceding 4 years

If neither condition is met, you're treated as an NRI for tax purposes.

When should an NRI file their income tax return in India?

add icon

NRIs must file taxes in India if their total income earned or received in India exceeds ₹2.5 lakhs in a financial year.There are no new thresholds or exemptions for NRIs—the basic exemption limit and filing rules remain the same.Also, if you want to claim a Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) refund, or carry forward capital losses, filing is required, even if your income is below the limit.The due date for filing is usually 31st July of the assessment year, unless extended by the government.

I have less than ₹2.5 lakhs in income in India. Do I still need to file taxes?

add icon

If your total income in India is below ₹2.5 lakhs, filing a tax return is not mandatory. However, if Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) has been deducted (e.g., on interest income or property sale), you should file your ITR to claim a refund.

Which ITR form should an NRI use?

add icon

ITR-2: For most NRIs with income from capital gains, rent, interest, etc.
ITR-3: If the NRI has income from business or profession in India.

Is income earned in India also taxed in the NRI’s country of residence? What about DTAA?

add icon

Yes, income earned in India can be taxed both in India (source country) and in the NRI’s country of residence. This can lead to double taxation. To avoid this, India has signed Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs) with many countries. Under DTAA, NRIs can claim credit for taxes paid in India when filing their return in their home country — avoiding being taxed twice on the same income.

What types of income are taxable for NRIs in India?

add icon

NRIs must pay tax in India on income earned or received in India, such as:

Salary (received in India)
Rent from property in India
Capital gains on sale of assets
Interest income (from NRO accounts or FDs)

However, some incomes are exempt, such as:

Agricultural income
Interest on NRE accounts
Tax-free bonds (specified)

Are NRI Fixed Deposits tax-free?

add icon

NRE Fixed Deposits: Fully tax-free in India.NRO Fixed Deposits:
Taxable as per applicable NRI income tax rules.

Is capital gain from sale of Indian shares taxable for NRIs?

add icon

Yes, NRIs must pay capital gains tax on the sale of listed shares on Indian stock exchanges. Tax treatment depends on whether it's short-term (held < 12 months) or long-term (held ≥ 12 months).

Will I be taxed if I sell property in India as an NRI?

add icon

Yes. NRIs are liable to capital gains tax on the sale of property in India.
Long-term capital gains (after 2 years) are taxed at 20%.
Short-term gains are taxed at applicable slab rates.
Also, the buyer must deduct TDS on the capital gains before making the payment to the NRI seller.

Is agricultural income taxable for NRIs?

add icon

No, agricultural income earned in India is exempt from tax, even for NRIs.

TDS was deducted from my Indian income. Can I claim it back?

add icon

Yes! If TDS was deducted and your total income is below the taxable limit, or you’re eligible for deductions under DTAA, you can file an ITR and claim a refund.The refund will be credited to your bank account after the return is processed.

What is “Zero Filing”? Should I do it?

add icon

“Zero Filing” means filing an income tax return even when your taxable income is zero. NRIs often do this to:
Claim TDS refunds
Maintain PAN activity
Show tax compliance for visa or financial documentation

It’s a good practice for most NRIs, even if not mandatory.
