Hi,

I have been a NRI since FY 2013-14. I came to India in Sep 2024. 

From Sep 2024, I am working from India for a company in UAE and my salary is getting credited to my NRE account in AED, as I am waiting for my visa. My NRE account is still active because I am planning to go back to UAE once I receive my visa.  Most probably, I will have to stay in India until Mar 2026.

Please clarify the following:

  1. For FY 2025-26, should I consider the salary from UAE company under "Income from Salary" in the ITR?
  2. Is there any way that I can save on taxes, as I do not work for any Indian company?

Your guidance in this regard is very much appreciated.
