Yes income is taxable in india

A tax treaty between two or more countries to avoid taxing the same income twice is known as Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA). This means that there are agreed rates of tax and jurisdiction on specified types of income arising in a country. When a tax-payer resides in one country and earns income in another country, he is covered under DTAA, if those two countries have one in place. DTAAs can be either comprehensive, i.e. covering all types of income or specifically target certain types of income. This depends on the types of businesses/holdings of citizens of one country in another. Some of the common categories covered under DTAAs are services, salary, property, capital gains, savings/fixed deposit accounts, etc.
