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

An NRI is required to file in India if India-sourced income (salary, rent, interest, capital gains) exceeds ₹2.5 lakh, or if there are any capital gains from Indian property/shares, FEMA-reportable foreign assets, or a TDS refund to claim. Filing goes through ITR-2 or ITR-3 — ITR-1 isn't available to NRIs.

What is DTAA and how does it benefit NRIs?

India's DTAA network spans 90+ countries and prevents double taxation of the same income. Practical NRI benefits include reduced TDS (e.g. 15% rather than 20% on dividends under the US-India treaty), credit for foreign tax already paid, and lower tax on NRO interest — but you'll need a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) and Form 10F on file with Indian tax authorities to claim it.

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 on NRI income: Rent — 30%; STCG on listed equity (Section 111A) — 20%; LTCG on listed equity (Section 112A) — 12.5% above ₹1.25 lakh; NRO interest — 30%; Dividends — 20% (reducible under DTAA). Surcharge and 4% health & education cess apply on top. NRIs can claim refund of excess TDS by filing ITR, or obtain a lower deduction certificate under Section 197.
