Quick Summary
This discussion explores how an individual returning from Sweden with a significant amount in their Swedish bank account can transfer it to an Indian savings account without incurring Indian tax. While the principal amount transferred is not taxable as it's already taxed in Sweden, any future interest earned on this sum in India will be subject to tax. The advice suggests utilising Section 80TTA for interest deductions up to Rs. 10,000 and seeking professional tax advice for further optimisation.

If she transfer this amount then she will need to pay tax only on the interest earned on that amount in future
Nor likely.
