Hi all,

I have some savings in my Indian savings account accumulated from my monthly salary earnings.

I recently moved abroad and need to convert my savings account to NRO account. But once I do that, all interest on my savings will accrue 30% TDS.

I am not sure why my Indian savings accumulated from already taxed salary should now be taxed at 30% because of NRI status. Is there a legal way to avoid this taxation?

Thanks and Regards

Quick Summary
An NRI is seeking clarification on the 30% Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) applied to interest earned on their Indian savings account, which they need to convert to an NRO account. They question why savings from already taxed salary income are subject to further taxation. The discussion explores the possibility of claiming TDS refunds, particularly if total Indian income is below the taxable threshold.

Interest credited on the balance  is subject to TDS, which you can claim refund by filing ITR.

Hi sir,

Thanks for replying. The refund for TDS on interest credited would be deductible only up to 10k right?

Also, if I have no other income in India, which means my total income for the FY is less than 2.5L, then can I simply get a refund for the entire TDS deducted on the interest of my savings in the NRO account?

Thanks again for replying!

Kind regards
