Income Earned in India: NRIs must pay taxes on income that is earned, received, or deemed to accrue in India. This includes: Salary received for services provided in India. Income from property in India, whether rented or vacant. Capital gains from the sale of assets located in India. Interest earned on deposits in Indian banks12.
