Quick Summary
Interest earned on Non-Resident External (NRE) term deposits is generally considered exempt income under Section 10(4)(ii) of the Income Tax Act. While exempt, it's advisable to report this income in your Income Tax Return (ITR) to avoid potential issues with e-compliance notices. Revising your return to declare it as exempt income is a prudent step, even if it has no tax implication.
Yes, it is an exempted income as per sec 10(4)(ii) for non residents. even though it is exempted we have to show in return. hence it would be better to revise the return. we have time till 31.05.2021.
Ramaraju likes to be on the safer side. not reporting exempt income does not have any tax effect but you may still revise the return if you feel so. taking ramaraju's advise might free you from anxiety and fear of getting scrutiny notice for not reporting exempt income.
