One of my clients (NRI Status) is based out of UAE. She has some deposits in NRO account with SBI Gurgaon. SBI has deducted TDS @ 30% on those deposits whereas the applicable rate of TDS for Interest Payments as per the DTAA between India and UAE is 12.5%. Please let me know how to claim the refund of excess TDS deducted. Which ITR form is to be used and how this lower rate taxed income is to be shown in that ?
Pls follow the following steps for CLAIMING REFUND :
1. FILE ITRs form either 1 OR 2 .In the return there is space for writing the relief u/s 90 /91 which deals with double taxation relief .
2.For claiming the refund file of ITRs is mandatory Without the ITR it is not possible to claim the refund .....
3. File Form 30 --- Form for claiming the Refund .... Pls for claiming refund for NRIs the form 30 has to be filled up and submitted to Assessing Officer Non Resident Circle Mumbai ..... Persons who are non-resident and whose total income is made up only of income taxed at source should make the claim for refund to the Assessing Officer, Non-resident Refund Circle, Mumbai ......
Attach the copy of STATEMENT OF 26AS AND TDS CERTIFICATE issued by SBI u/s 203 with form 30 .... and submit them TO I.T. DEPARTMENT .... if possible pls given photocopy for ITR .....

Dear Mukul, you cannot claim relief under Section 90 or 91 because that would be a case wherein you are a resident and your TDS is deducted outside India and you want to claim credit of foreign paid taxes in India.
In this case you shall have to file return of NR and claim refund as per Form 16A.
You shall have to take PAN first.
If this is going to be a regular payment, you can also apply for nil certificate u/s 197.
For any more help, you can drop a mail at mehul@raseshca.com
