Itr necessary for income from nre fd?

ITR 220 views 3 replies

Dear All,

 

I would like to clarify regarding ITR for an NRI who has FDs in NRE account. It is tax free in India.

If the person has income only from this NRE FD to a tune of 5 lakhs (which is tax free), does he still need to file and report this income in ITR2?

 

Regards

For an NRI he Is liable to Show and taxed for income earned or accrued in india

While you are non resident, NRE fixed deposits do not attract taxes either on the principal or interest earned from the deposits. Consequently, NRE fixed deposits are completely tax free.
No need to file income tax return.

As a Non-Resident if there was any other income, ITR2 can be filed and NRE FD can be displayed in Schedule EI of ITR2 form.
