This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of interest earned on Non-Resident External (NRE) deposits. While generally considered exempt income, the taxability changes if an individual becomes a 'resident but not ordinarily resident' in India. The conversation explores specific exemptions under Section 10(15)(iv) and highlights that NRE deposits are treated as resident deposits once an individual becomes a resident in India, potentially impacting their tax status.

But i read in section 10(15)(iv) that interest on deposits paid to Resident but not ordinarily residents by banks are exempt... Could you pls explain my previous question on the basis of this provision. I'm really confused..
