Tax Implications for Salary from Overseas

Dear Friends,

One of my cousin is joined in U.S. MNC in India. U.S. MNC is having an office at India, but no any Operations in India. Hence, U.S. company is paying Salary to the Indian employees bank account directly (Wire Transfer) from U.S. Bank.
So, what is the procedures to receiving this Salary Income? What about Income Tax implications for this?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the tax implications for an Indian resident receiving a salary directly from a US-based MNC's US bank account into their Indian bank account. It clarifies that such income is generally taxable in India as it's deemed to accrue or arise in India. The thread also touches upon the possibility of claiming tax exemptions on investments like PPF or insurance, advising to check with the employer for eligibility and perquisite taxation.

It should be taxable as it is deemed to accrue in India
Can we avail tax exemptions like PPF, Insurance, Loan Interest etc, Medical Insurance etc,

From Indian employee perspective, he can consider going for volunatry PF registration. However, not sure whether US MNC would agree for it. He can check with his employer. On a separate note, there is high likelihood of US MNC having PE in India unless it is a Liaison Office. Further, since your cousin is Indian resident, his global income is taxable in India. Hence, in the instant case, the salary is taxable in India. 

 

For claiming the exempt component of Salary, you need to check with the employer. If the employer provides those components, exemption for such should be available. Please take note of perquisite taxation as well.
