Quick Summary
An Indian national working in the USA became a tax resident in India for FY 17-18 and received a notice to file returns, facing significant tax and interest liabilities on foreign salaries and NRE FD interest. The discussion explores potential tax-saving avenues, including the applicability of the India-USA tax treaty and the impact of residential status (Resident and Ordinarily Resident vs. Resident Not Ordinarily Resident). Advice suggests checking the exact residential status, as RNOR status might exempt foreign income from Indian tax and allow credit for US taxes paid.

Check if the status is 'Resident Not Ordinary Resident" i.e RNOR.. In that case all foreign income will not taxable in India.

Secondly tax paid in US over these earnings will be deductible...in case of ROR

Ok sir .. he is R & OR. No tax paid in usa

How come salaries paid by US companies were non-taxable in US?

If he has not paid any tax there, he needs to pay it here. There is no other option left.

Okay sir.

Good Luck ...

A bank reconciliation statement could be defined as the summary of the banking and business accounts that reconciles a company's bank account with its financial record. The statement contains a record of all the deposits, withdrawals and other financial activities with a bank over a certain period of time. It is a useful tool to control fraudulent activities.

To complete a bank reconciliation statement, the accountant needs the following data.

  • Current and previous month's bank statement
  • The closing balance of the bank account
  • Any outstanding payments or withdrawals (cheques that haven't been processed yet)
  • Any fees charged by the bank on the account.

Benefits of a Bank Reconciliation Statement

  • A bank reconciliation statement ensures that all payments made by the company are processed and all deposits are correctly made on time.
  • Bank reconciliation statements are great for detecting frauds in financial transactions of large companies (which are difficult to keep track of, otherwise).
  • Bank reconciliation statements also help to analyze errors that can affect the financial transactions of a company or business.
  • Such statements help to assess the financial health of a company and take adequate financial decisions for the betterment of business
  • Bank reconciliation statements are also a key to accurate tax reporting. Without a proper financial statement, a company may end up paying too much or too less taxes.
