No spam. Your information is 100% secure.
Residential status first — everything follows it
NRI, RNOR or resident is decided by your days in India, and it determines what is taxable at all. We fix it from your travel record, not assumptions.
NRO TDS, recovered as a refund
Banks deduct 30%-plus TDS on NRO interest — usually far more than you owe. Filing your Indian return is how you get the excess back.
DTAA relief, claimed by the book
Treaty benefits need your Tax Residency Certificate and Form 10F. We prepare them so the same income isn’t taxed twice.

Income tax for NRIs, AY 2026-27 explained
What NRIs are taxed on in India
As a non-resident you are taxed in India only on India-sourced income — NRO account interest, rent from Indian property, and capital gains on Indian shares, mutual funds or property. Your residential status, decided mainly by days present in India, determines all of this, so it’s the first thing to settle. Banks and buyers deduct TDS at high flat rates — 30%-plus on NRO interest and a withholding on property sales under Section 195 — usually far more than your actual liability. Filing your Indian return for AY 2026-27 is how the excess comes back as a refund and how treaty relief is claimed.
Who this is for
NRIs in the Gulf, US, UK, Singapore and elsewhere with Indian income — NRO interest, rental income, mutual-fund or share gains, or a property sale. It’s also for those returning to India, where RNOR status shapes what gets taxed in the transition years. If TDS was deducted and you want it back, or you’re unsure whether you’re non-resident, RNOR or resident, this is where to start.
Residency, NRE vs NRO, and DTAA
Residential status is decided by days in India — the 182-day rule, a 60/365-day variant, and special carve-outs. NRE and FCNR deposit interest is exempt while you qualify as non-resident under FEMA; NRO interest is fully taxable, and over-deducted TDS on it is the most common refund we file. India’s DTAA treaties prevent the same income being taxed fully in both countries, via lower rates or a foreign tax credit — claimed with a Tax Residency Certificate and Form 10F (and Form 67 for the credit). Getting these right is the difference between a clean refund and double taxation.

This page explains what applies to you as an NRI; for the actual remote filing, DTAA paperwork, property-sale TDS certificates and pricing, our dedicated NRI Tax Filing service does the work. We deliberately keep one page for the head "NRI income tax filing" term (the service) and this one for persona guidance, so you always land on the right one.

- Passport with travel dates, or a day-count

- Tax Residency Certificate, for DTAA claims

Estimate your Indian tax
A first look at your India-sourced tax before you file remotely with an NRI expert.
Selling property, refunds & why plan before you sell
Selling Indian property? Plan before you sign
On a property sale the buyer must deduct TDS under Section 195 — often on the full sale value, not your gain — which can lock up a large sum for a year until you file and reclaim it. With a Section 197 lower-TDS certificate arranged before the sale, that deduction can be cut close to your actual tax. So the single most valuable step is to talk to us before the sale agreement, not after. For moving proceeds abroad, we prepare the 15CA/15CB certificates the bank requires.
Recovering your excess TDS
Filing your Indian return is how excess TDS on NRO interest and property sales comes back. We compute your actual liability, credit the TDS already deducted, and the difference is refunded to your account. On NRO interest and property the deduction is usually far above your real tax, so the refund is often significant — and we track it until it lands.
Why file with EasyTax
Everything is remote and secure — an encrypted vault, calls in your time zone, and one expert across years. We fix residency from real data, recover excess TDS, and claim DTAA relief correctly, all under India’s DPDP Act. The full filing and pricing live on our NRI Tax Filing service.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions from NRIs.
If your India-sourced income — rent, NRO interest, capital gains — exceeds the basic exemption limit, yes. And even below it, if TDS was deducted and you want it back, filing is how you claim the refund. Many NRIs file purely to recover excess TDS, which is often substantial.
Primarily by days present in India — the 182-day rule, a 60/365-day variant, and special carve-outs. We compute it from your passport stamps rather than assumptions, because your entire tax position, and whether income like NRE interest is exempt, follows from that status.
No. Interest on NRE and FCNR deposits is exempt while you qualify as non-resident under FEMA. NRO interest, by contrast, is fully taxable, and the high TDS deducted on it is frequently more than you owe — recovering that excess is the most common NRI filing we handle.
India’s Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements stop the same income being taxed fully in both countries, via lower rates or a credit for tax paid abroad. You claim it with a Tax Residency Certificate and Form 10F, both of which we prepare. Whether it helps depends on your country and income, which we assess first.
Talk to us before signing. The buyer must deduct TDS under Section 195, often on the full sale value, tying up a large amount until you file and reclaim it. With a Section 197 lower-TDS certificate arranged in advance, we can often cut that deduction to your actual tax instead of your waiting a year for a big refund.
Yes — the entire process is remote. You upload documents to an encrypted vault, we hold calls in your evening hours, you approve online, and we file and e-verify on your behalf. There’s no need to visit India or send family to an office.
This page explains what applies to you as an NRI; the actual remote filing, DTAA paperwork, property-sale certificates and pricing are on our NRI Tax Filing service, which owns the main "NRI income tax filing" search. We keep them distinct so you don’t see two competing pages.
Yes. On return you may become RNOR for a transition period, during which foreign income is generally still not taxed in India. Planning these years can save a great deal, so we map your status and what becomes taxable and when.
