Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications for an individual working remotely from Germany for an Indian company while on a dependent visa. The consensus is that while you will need to pay income tax to the German government, you must also declare this income in your Indian tax return (ITR). You can then claim a rebate for taxes already paid to Germany to avoid double taxation. Your Indian employer may deduct TDS, which can be offset against your overall tax liability.

Till you are Resident Indian as per sec. 6 of IT act, you will have to declare the income in ITR and claim the rebate of tax paid to German treasury.

Thank you! Mr. Dhirajal, My understanding is for the amount paid to Germany for the year should be Declared in ITR in the Financial year end and get the treasury amount paid to Germany. right?
Mean while should I pay any Income tax to India mothly wise ?   

1. Correct.

2. No, but your employer will deduct TDS, which you can claim against your tax liabilities, if any.

Thank you so much! 

You are welcome..
