Filing income tax return for my son who is abroad (NRI)

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses filing an Indian income tax return for a son living abroad (NRI) who has only interest income from an NRO account. While TDS has been deducted, filing an ITR might not be mandatory. The conversation explores whether a parent can file on behalf of their son, the correct ITR form to use (ITR 1 is suggested as simple), and the process for registering as an authorised signatory if direct filing is preferred over the son filing himself from abroad.

05 September 2021 My son has only interest income on his NRO account from which TDS has been deducted. No other income in INDIA. He is settled abroad and paying income tax over there.

NRO Interest income is only about Rs. 5000/-

NRE interest income is tax free about Rs 3000/-
Can I file return on his behalf as he has given me PW to do the same.

05 September 2021 Just Power will not work. You have to register as "Authorised Signatory for Income Tax Returns/Forms" over the E-filing site, to file his income return.
As such ITR filling is not mandatory, in this case; still you wish you need pass through the process.
