Since you will be filing as RNOR (Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident) for FY 2025–26, your Swiss employment pension accumulated abroad will not be taxable in India merely because you remit it into your Indian bank account. RNORs are taxed in India only on income that is earned or accrued in India. Foreign income earned before becoming resident (like your Swiss pension fund) is not taxable when brought into India.
