An NRI working in Oman wishes to transfer funds from their Omani salary to their Indian bank account. They are seeking clarification on whether these monthly transfers will be subject to Indian tax. The advice provided is that transferring savings from abroad to one's own Indian bank account as an NRI is not taxable in India.

Hi, I am working in Oman since 08 March 2025 thus, currently I am an NRI, as there are no plans to visit India in this financial year. I want to transfer money from the salary I am earning here to my Indian Bank. I am planning to transfer 2.5 lacs per month to India, in my Indian Bank. Please advise, will this transfer attract any tax or it will be completely tax free for me in India?
