Since you’re an NRI with TDS deducted on FD interest in India, here’s what you need to do to claim a refund:
### 1. **File Income Tax Return (ITR)**
* You **must file an ITR** in India for the financial year in which TDS was deducted. * The relevant ITR form for NRIs is generally **ITR-2** (for income from interest, capital gains, etc.).
### 2. **When to file**
* For FD matured in **July 2010**, the relevant FY is **2010-11** (1 April 2010 – 31 March 2011). * The usual due date for filing return is **31 July 2011**. * Late filing can attract penalty and interest, so try to file before due date.
### 3. **Online filing**
* Yes, you **can file online** on the official Income Tax e-filing portal: [https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal/](https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal/) * You will need your PAN, bank details, and Form 16/16A (TDS certificate) issued by the bank.
### 4. **Documents needed**
* Form 16A or TDS certificate issued by bank. * Bank statement showing interest credited. * Copy of PAN card.
### 5. **Claiming refund**
* Fill your return declaring the **actual interest income**. * TDS amount will be shown as tax already paid. * If your total income is below taxable limit or you have paid excess tax, you will get a **refund** of the excess TDS deducted.
