09 July 2018 This is your inr 5 lakh earned in india and it can go to your NRO account only in india. However in UAE , you can transfer it after depositing in NRE account. But for depsiting in NRE account , you need to take permission from RBI through union bank.. Hence better keep this 5 lakh in NRO and pay tax of 10,000/- by ITR filling. And if u donot want to use this money in India then you can ask Bank to shift from NRO to NRE account ( Normally Bank ask for RBI clerence for this) then you can transfer to UAE a/c as u mentioned above.You can deposit full 5 lakhs or 4.9 Lakh or less in NRO after paying Tax and file ITR.
