Frequently
Asked Questions

  • Q: When are you considered as a Non-Resident Indian (NRI)?

    A person who is not a resident of India is considered to be a Non-Resident of India (NRI). You are a resident if your stay in India in a given financial year for : 182 days or more 60 days or more and 365 days or more in the 4 immediately preceding previous years. In case you do not satisfy either of the above conditions, you will be considered an NRI.

  • Q: When should an NRI file his return of income in India?

    An NRI, like any other individual taxpayer, must file his return of income in India if his gross total income received in India exceeds Rs 2.5 lakh for any given financial year. Further, the due date for filing a return for an NRI is also 31 July of the assessment year or extended by the government.

  • Q: Is Income Tax Act applicable only to residents?

    No, the income tax act applies to all persons who earn income in India. Whether they are resident or non-resident.

  • Q: How is resident/ non-resident status relevant for levy of income tax?

    In case of resident individuals and companies, their global income is taxable in India. However non-residents have to pay tax only on the income earned in India or from a source/activity in India.

  • Q: I own shares of various Indian companies and receive dividends. Is it taxable?

    Yes, the dividend declared by Indian companies is taxable in the hands of the shareholders at the rate of 20.00% without providing for deduction under any provision of income tax act.

  • Q: I am going out of India. Who will file my income tax return for this period?

    You can authorize any person by way of a power of attorney to file your return. A copy of the power of attorney should be enclosed with the return.

  • Q: Does an NRI also have to pay advance tax?

    Yes, if an NRI’s tax liability is expected to exceed Rs. 10,000 in a financial year, he must pay advance tax. Interest under section 234B and section 234C will be levied if advance tax is not paid.

  • Q: I am planning to move out of India. Is DTAA relevant for me ?

    It is also good to check whether the country of migration has a DTAA (Double Tax Avoidance Agreement) with India. There are many countries with which India has a tie-up to ensure there is no double taxation on income earned in one country and taxes are paid in both countries. This is to ensure that taxes are not paid twice.

  • Q: Is it mandatory for an NRI to file an Income Tax return in India?

    Yes, an NRI becomes obligated to file an Income Tax return in India if their total Indian income surpasses Rs. 2,50,000 in a specific financial year. Moreover, in cases where tax deduction at source exceeds the actual tax liability on any NRI income, filing a return is essential. Only after filing the income return can NRIs claim a refund along with accrued interest.

  • Q: Can NRIs claim tax benefits in India for investments made abroad?

    No, tax benefits in India are generally applicable to investments made within the country. Investments made abroad may not qualify for the same benefits.
