12 July 2024 As per section 10(4)(ii) of the Act, the NRE interest is exempt from tax for those who are treated as a ‘Person Resident Outside India (PROI) as per the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA) or if the person is permitted to continue holding such an account by the RBI.
In other words, NRE interest is taxable for a person who qualifies as a Person Resident in India (PRI) as per FEMA and does not have permission from the RBI to maintain it.
If exempt income, you can declare in under Schedule EI.
