Double Tax Avoidance
DTAA Benefits — Pay Tax Once, Not Twice

Frequently Asked Questions
NRI Tax — Common Questions
Do I need to file an ITR in India if I'm an NRI?
+
Yes, if your income from Indian sources (rental income, interest on NRO accounts, capital gains on Indian property/shares) exceeds ₹2.5 lakh in a financial year. Even if below the threshold, it's advisable to file to claim TDS refunds on rent or property sales. NRIs file ITR-2 or ITR-3 depending on their income type.
What is the difference between NRE and NRO accounts?
+
NRE (Non-Resident External) accounts hold foreign earnings converted to INR — principal and interest are fully repatriable and interest is tax-free in India. NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) accounts hold India-sourced income (rent, dividends) — interest is taxable at 30% (TDS deducted), and repatriation is capped at USD 1 million per year after tax clearance. Both accounts are FEMA-regulated.
How much TDS is deducted when an NRI sells property in India?
+
When an NRI sells immovable property in India, the buyer is required to deduct TDS at 20% (Long-Term Capital Gains, held > 2 years) or 30% (Short-Term, held ≤ 2 years) plus applicable surcharge and cess — making the effective rate 20.8% to 23.92% for LTCG. The NRI can apply for a Lower/Nil TDS certificate (Form 13) from the Income Tax department to reduce this. TaxClue handles this entire process.
What is DTAA and how does it help NRIs avoid double taxation?
+
DTAA (Double Tax Avoidance Agreement) is a treaty between India and your country of residence that prevents the same income from being taxed twice. Under DTAA, you either pay tax only in one country or get a tax credit in one country for taxes paid in the other. To claim DTAA benefits in India, you must provide a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) from your country of residence plus Form 10F. TaxClue helps NRIs claim all eligible DTAA benefits.
Can I repatriate money from India to my foreign bank account?
+
Yes. NRIs can repatriate up to USD 1 million per financial year from NRO accounts after paying applicable taxes. Money from NRE accounts is freely repatriable without limit. For property sale proceeds, you need a CA certificate in Form 15CB and file Form 15CA on the income tax portal before the bank will process the remittance. TaxClue handles the complete 15CA/15CB process.
What happens if I miss filing ITR as an NRI?
+
Missing the ITR deadline (July 31 for NRIs with non-audit income) results in: late filing fee of ₹5,000 (reduced to ₹1,000 if income below ₹5 lakh), interest on unpaid tax u/s 234A at 1% per month, inability to carry forward capital losses, and potential notices from the Income Tax department. Belated returns can be filed up to December 31 of the assessment year.
