When must an NRI file an income tax return in India?

NRIs need to file an Indian ITR when: India-sourced income (salary, rent, interest, capital gains) crosses ₹2.5 lakh in the year; there are capital gains from Indian property or shares, at any amount; foreign assets held in India require FEMA disclosure; or you're claiming a refund of TDS already deducted on Indian income. The applicable forms are ITR-2 or ITR-3 — NRIs cannot use the simpler ITR-1 (Sahaj).

What is DTAA and how does it benefit NRIs?

DTAA — the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement — is a treaty India holds with 90+ countries to stop the same income being taxed twice. For NRIs, that typically means lower TDS on Indian income (for example, 15% instead of 20% on dividends under the US-India treaty), credit or exemption for tax already paid abroad, and reduced tax on NRO interest. Claiming it requires a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) plus Form 10F filed with Indian tax authorities.

How does Indus Tax help NRIs with NRI Tax Filing?

Our CA team handles NRI tax end-to-end: review of India-sourced income, DTAA benefit application, correct ITR form selection, Form 15CA/15CB for repatriation, and advance tax calculation. All services are 100% online — you don't need to visit India. We coordinate via WhatsApp and email across all time zones.

What are the TDS rates on NRI income from Indian sources?

TDS rates applicable to NRI income: 30% on rent, 20% on short-term capital gains under Section 111A, 12.5% on long-term capital gains above ₹1.25 lakh under Section 112A, 30% on NRO interest, and 20% on dividends (lower under DTAA). Surcharge plus 4% health & education cess apply on top. Excess TDS can be recovered by filing an ITR, or reduced upfront via a Section 197 certificate.
