Perfect Guide on NRI Income Tax Rules and Policies in India


Posted on October 17, 2014 by HRBlockIndia

As a non-resident Indian have you been grappling with the constant challenge of how various incomes would be taxed in your home
country and in India? Are your decisions related to remittances, investments, property purchases and rentals marred at the thought
of taxes?

Though tax laws in different countries are difficult to fathom, they aren’t as perplexing as you thought. Take for instance the income
from abroad. The ground rule is that income which is earned outside India by an NRI is not taxed in India.

Similarly, there are a host of other incomes that aren’t taxed in India, but may or may not be touched in the country you are residing
in. We present a simple guide for Non-resident Indian to assist them in saving taxes by understanding which income will be exempt
and which won’t.

Income exempt in India

Most NRIs have bank accounts in India – either non-resident external accounts or foreign currency non-resident account. The good
news is that though Indian residents have to pay tax on their savings bank account interest above Rs. 10,000, NRIs are excused. No
taxes are to be paid on the interest arising out of these bank accounts.

You need not worry about paying taxes on income you earn abroad. Also, gains from money sent home to family members or for
investments are exempted (taxed at concessional rates under specific scenarios).

Income Taxed in India

Gains – long-term or short term – from investments or sale of assets such as house would be taxed in India. Also, rental income is
taxed in India, but a standard deduction of 30% of the rent (less municipal taxes) is available.

If you have inherited assets from Indian parents or relatives then you wouldn’t have to bear taxes when you gain control of these
assets. But later, recurring gains such as rental income or income from sale or transfer would be liable to tax.

Exempt in India, Taxed abroad

There are certain conflicts with regards to specific income with regards to tax laws in different countries. As a result, you would have
to bear the brunt of tax in your new country. For instance, dividends distributed by Indian companies are exempt in India, but taxed
in countries such as US.

Select long-term capital gains from Indian investments are exempt in India, but taxes are applicable as per the rules of the country
you now reside in.

Calculating taxes

If you only have capital gain income from shares and securities in India then you would not get the basic exemption limit. Your
shares, mutual funds and other assets when sold in India would be taxed just like residents. Equities held for more than a year are
exempt only in case of STT paid else it is taxable @ 10%, while non-equity funds have a different taxation structure based on when
they are sold. The entire gain made on investments in non-equity fund up to 36 months (12 months if prior to July 10, 2014) are
added to the income and taxed as per the bracket. While those redeemed after 36 months are taxed at the rate of 10%. In case of
assets other than Shares & securities sold before 36 months then they are taxed as per the regular bracket and if sold after 36
months are taxed at 20%.

Also remember that to avail the benefits of exemption under section 54, 54EC and 54F, and these can be availed only in case you

invest the proceeding in India.

Paying taxes

Under most situations taxes would be deducted before making you payments, be it investments or rents, as mandated by the
Section 195 of the Income Tax Act.

But, if there are additional liabilities then you can pay the taxes online through a seamless process.

Tax filing

Even though you may have to face the tax brunt, it doesn’t merit filing income tax returns unless your income exceeds the
threshold limit. If your earning from all sources put together – rent, dividend, capital gains, investment income, etc – shoots beyond
Rs. 2.5 Lacs (Rs. 3 Lacs for those between 60 – 80, Rs. 5 Lacs for those above 80 years) for financial year 2014 – 15, then you would
have to file a tax return.

When your income exceeds the threshold, you should check whether you can skip filing tax returns through provisions under
Chapter (XII-A). Here, if all taxes have been deducted at source for specified income then there is an option wherein an NRI need
not file a return.

Also, if this income earned is a result of sale or transfer or regular income from foreign exchange asset then an NRI need not file tax
returns.

However, while filing returns in the country you reside in you should declare the Indian Income as you would get tax credit in
countries in a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA ) with India.

Steps to save taxes

Though one cannot escape tax completely, but s/he can claim deductions by investing in various investment avenues eligible for
80C. However, as an NRI you aren’t permitted to invest in National Saving Certificates (NSC), Senior Citizens Savings Scheme, Post
Office Time Deposits or open new PPF accounts or extend them.

Other taxation benefits under home loan, life insurance, pension plan, equity-linked savings schemes of mutual funds are allowed.
Tuition fee paid for spouse or children in India too can be claimed for deduction.

Health insurance policies or health check-ups paid for parents or dependants in India too are allowed for deduction under Section
80D.

If you aren’t willing to buy another property using the sale amount to save taxes, then long-term capital gains arising due to sale of
assets can be invested in tax-saving bonds such as those issued by NHAI or REC. But these are capped at Rs. 50 Lacs. Also,
investments into foreign currency bonds are taxed at 20% vis-à-vis the maximum tax rate of 30%. So, you can claim a lower tax rate
by investing in these bonds.

Canadian “resident” has to pay tax on worldwide income and will have to pay taxes on any capital gain as well. The
gains are not exempt.
This rule applies only if he is residing in Canada, else it does not.

Provisions of Section 194DA will be applicable only in case of a resident policy holder. If policy payment is being made to
non-resident policyholder, the provisions of section 195 of the income tax act 1961 will be applicable. Section 195 doesn’t
mention any rate at which the TDS is to be deducted by the insurer while making payment.
The TDS in such case will be deducted at higher of the following rates for non PAN card holders u/s 206AA

a. The rate of tax in force for such income (i.e. applicable to nature of income) or
b. At 20%
In case you are a PAN card holder then TDS will be deducted according to the rate of tax in force for such income.

Considering the facts of the case and further assuming that you qualify to be a Resident and Ordinarily Resident (R & OR),
as per sec. 6 of the act for the F.Y. 2014-15, all your global income will be taxable in India. Further as per the amendment
of Finance Act 2014 any unlisted share (including foreign listed share) if sold after holding for a period of 3 years (36
months) or more then capital gain arising on the same post indexation will be taxable @ 20% (plus applicable cess)
Note:- You will be eligible to claim the benefit of exemption u/s. 54EC & 54F by investing in the specified assets. This
means that if you invest the gains from sale in some specified assets then you will not be liable to pay any taxes on
capital gains on sale of shares.

In case you do not stay out of India for less than 182 days then you become a resident in India. Hence any income earned
by a resident whether in India or abroad is taxable in India. Hence the salary earned in this case is taxable in India.

Suppose a person left India 2 yrs back for a project through his employer in India and is likely to return back on completion of project.
For the years when his status was NRI, in the absence of any taxable income in India,
i) can he file ITR & claim deduction for repaying housing loan taken in India for a home in India self occupied by his family and
ii) carry forward the resulting HP loss to be adjusted against taxable income that shall arise after he returns to India?

Income tax returns will have to be filed when income exceeds Rs.250,000 in a year i.e. from 1st April to 31st March. If he
files his return for the year then he can even claim his refunds for TDS deducted if any, since TDS is deducted at the

Yes, you can claim the home loan interest and property taxes as Itemized deductions provided they are for a main home
or a second home. If the house is under construction, you can claim the interest only for 24 months until construction is
completed. It the property is rented out, the interest and taxes can be deducted against the rental income.

If you earn income of more than Rs250,000 then you are liable to pay taxes and hence you have to pay taxes at the slab
rate applicable to you. In this case you fall under the tax slab chargeable to tax @10%. Hence the total tax payable for
you (considering that 300,000 is the only income you earn in India)is (250,000 – 300,000)x10% = Rs. 5,000.
When it comes to TDS, NRIs are charged at the highest slab rates and hence banks will deduct TDS on your interest
@30.9%. However this amount can be claimed as a refund on filing your return of income in India.

Hi Kamlesh,

You have earned income more than the threshold limit of Rs250,000 and hence it will be taxable. You will also have to file
your return of income and pay taxes due. The income tax payable would be determined only after claiming proper
deductions from this income an then applying the tax rate applicable to the net income from this investment. A qualified
tax advisor can guide you in this matter.

The taxation rules in UK are different from India. Your son is an NRI and the property is out of India and hence it will not

You will have to file taxes in India only if you earn income from this investment exceeding Rs250,000 in a year.
Alternatively you can also file your taxes in case you receive some interest income from India that is charged to tax at the

5.5% per annum for which i got interest of Rs. 6987 and recently I came to know about Tax Deducted at Source (TDS), when I
checked in my Sbi Acc income tax certificate for the financial year April 2014 – March 2015, bank deducted and paid interest of
Rs.576.00 for the FD interest. I Don’t know what to do to get refund.
Please help me in the below queries:
1) What should I do now to get refund of that income tax paid by bank?
2) As a NRI can I have Fixed Deposit in my Normal Savings Account?
3) Can I Submit Form 15G to avoid Tax Deducted at Source for the financial year April 2015 – March 2016?
4) Let say right now I have FD of Rs. 5 Lakhs at the Interest rate of 7.75% and FD interest income will be Rs.39890 for the financial
year 2015-2016. I don’t have any income in India other than this FD interest income. May I still need to pay any income tax for FD
interest income for next year? If so, then how much will be income tax?
Thanks in advance for replying.

Have a small query about which I’m getting mixed opinions. Hence requesting your expert help on the issue.
I am an Indian national.
I have a resident Visa of UAE and am on training and troubleshooting visits about 60-90 days a year to the UAE. Fot that i have a
fixed earning in Dhirams per month being paid in UAE itself.
I HAVE NEVER TRANSFERRED OR BROUGHT BACK THIS MONEY TO INDIA AND NEVER INTEND TO DO SO EITHER.
I use that earning for my expenditure in the UAE itself.
So… Am i liable to declare and pay tax in India on that amount which i am earning there and never intend to bring back here?
I Shall be very grateful for for reply.
Thanks.

Hi Team HRBlock,
I am Indian Resident, going US during Jan, next year.

So far I have invested around 1 Cr. in equity. I am looking to keep it invested for next 3-4 year till I come back from US.
Do any realized/notional LTCG on Indian equities are taxable in US under “Global Income” ?

Hello HRBlock,
I own a property back in India. I am jointly registered for this property with my mother (residing in India). My parents recently rented
out the property in India. But, I am not receiving any proceeds from the rent. All the rent goes to my father’s account, for which he
files Indian taxes.
Is there any need for me to declare this in my annual US taxes ?

I am using a ptc (paid to click) site to earn money and the earnings are in dollar .Also sometime I use my earnings to purchase
services on the site itself.(I live in india)

Then I use paypal to credit my earning in my bank account in rupees .


Does I have to pay tax . If yes then does i have to pay tax on my purchases also or only on the amount I received in my bank
account .
Thnks in advance
