10 May 2026 Becoming a Canadian citizen does not prevent her from earning rent in India, but she must use an NRO bank account. Although her income is low, the tenant is legally required to deduct 31.2% TDS. To avoid this, she should apply for a "Lower Deduction Certificate" from the Tax Department or file an ITR to claim a full refund.
