Quick Summary

If you've been working abroad and had no income in India during the 2021-22 financial year, you generally don't need to file an Indian income tax return. However, if you received funds like PF remittances into your Indian account, it's advisable to file a return, even if it's a nil return.

29 July 2022 Hello sir/madam,
I've been working in the US in the last financial year 2021-22 since Jan 21. Should I file Nil income tax return for this year? Or can I just not file any return at all since there was no income in India..

29 July 2022 If you are NRI, no need to file return in India, if your income earned in India is nil, or below exemption limit.

29 July 2022 Thank you sir for the reply.
PF from my company got remitted to my account this year 21-22- about 15 lacs. In that case, should I file return?
