31 July 2018 I need your help to file ITR for AY 2018-19 as NRI, I am in South-Africa from June-2016 to till date. I am getting the salary in South Africa as well as in India.
South African salary is being taxed as per local laws. My Indian annual salary is greater than 2.5 lakh exemption limit hence I believe I have to fill ITR. my queries are as follow -
(1) which ITR form I have to fill as NRI? Is it ITR-1 or ITR-2 or some other form?
(2) If it is ITR-2, Do I need to fill Schedule FSI & Schedule TR?
(3) Am I eligible for a rebate under 80C against Insurance premium/ Home loan principal repayment (Property is in India) & under 80CCD(1B) against New Pension Scheme contribution? if yes, which section I have to fill?
(4) Am I eligible for a rebate for home loan interest payment (Property is in India)? if yes, which section I have to fill?
Thanks in advance for help.
