NRIs are taxed in India only on income that arises or is received in India. We prepare and file ITR-2/ITR-3 for NRIs, claim treaty relief and TDS refunds, and handle notices.
Key rules to know
- Indian-source income such as rent, NRO/FD interest, dividends and capital gains is taxable.
- Foreign salary earned abroad is generally not taxable in India for non-residents.
- The 87A rebate is not available to non-residents.
- Verification can be done by methods suitable for NRIs without an Indian mobile number.
