06 July 2011 In this case the share in Rental Income will be taxable in the hands of OCI and he has to file his Income Tax Return if due to such income his Total Income goes beyond the taxable limit.
Father and mother can repay the loan by transferring the amount from their respective bank accounts to NRO a/c of the OCI towards the repayment of loan.

In spite of giving loan to Father and mother he can gift the amount to his parents if there is no tax on gifts in the country of his employment.
