Indemnity bond notarization for Income Tax (NRI outside India)

• What people often do: A relative buys the ₹100 Stamp Paper in India, couriers it to you abroad, you sign it there, and courier it back.

• The Risk: Legally, this is incorrect because the "Place of Execution" (signing) is outside India, but the paper is Indian. However, for minor procedural issues like challan correction, the Income Tax Department often overlooks this technicality and accepts it.

• If you choose this: Ensure you do not get it notarized by a foreign notary (as that proves you signed it abroad on Indian paper). You would simply sign it and send it back. I do not recommend this for strictly legal matters, but it is a common practical workaround.

Thanks Ashok for your reply, what would be the legal way to do it?

Notorise before Indian Embassy where u reside

If motorised in front of ambassy plane paper is ok
