What India taxes

A non-resident is taxed in India on income received in India, or income that arises in India. Salary earned and received outside India is generally outside this return. Rent from an Indian property, capital gains on an Indian asset, and interest that the Act taxes are in scope. We read the charging sections for the year of the return.

Day count

Residential status follows the days you were in India. Section 6 sets the tests for that year. The usual tests include 182 days in the year, and a shorter stay when the earlier years also add up. For an Indian citizen or a person of Indian origin who comes on a visit, the shorter test can be 120 days when Indian income, other than income from foreign sources, is above ₹15 lakh. Leaving India for employment can keep the 182-day test. Passport stamps or a day-count sheet decide the count.

If the count makes you resident, or resident but not ordinarily resident, foreign income and a foreign-asset schedule can come into the return. That is checked before the form is chosen.

NRE and NRO accounts

Interest on an NRE account is generally exempt when you are a non-resident under the Act. Interest on an NRO account is taxable in India. The certificate shows which account it is. If the UAE or Oman also taxes the same income, the treaty is read before any credit is claimed. A rate is taken from the treaty for that year, not from a blog.

Before the return is filed

  1. Send the passport, a day count, Form 16 if there is Indian salary, rent papers, capital-gains statements, and the bank interest certificate.
  2. The desk checks the status and the form, and lists gaps before anything is filed.
  3. You approve the draft.
  4. You complete e-verification yourself: Aadhaar OTP, net banking, a bank or demat EVC, or a signed ITR-V as the portal instructs.

Income-tax work starts at ₹2,000 on the Coimbatore income-tax page. A Gulf file with rent, capital gains, or a status question costs more. The quote is confirmed before filing. The first discussion is free. The length depends on the file.

Common questions

Do I file in India if I live in Dubai or Muscat?

If you have income that is taxable in India, an Indian return can still be due. Foreign salary received outside India is generally outside that return when you are a non-resident.

Is NRE interest taxable in India?

Interest on an NRE account is generally exempt when you are a non-resident under the Act. Interest on an NRO account is taxable in India. The certificate shows which account it is.

Can you complete e-verification for me?

No. You complete Aadhaar OTP, net banking, a bank or demat EVC, or a signed ITR-V as the portal instructs.
