Interest on NRE account

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

Interest earned on an NRE (Non-Resident External) account is generally not taxable under the Income Tax Act. However, it's important to declare this interest in your tax computation and Income Tax Return (ITR). By claiming an exemption under Section 10(4)(ii), you ensure your ITR is accurate and complete, avoiding potential issues during verification.
