Who needs to file
Do you even need to file an India return as an NRI?
If you earned any income in India in the year — rent, interest, capital gains, a property sale — you generally need to file, even if TDS was already deducted. Filing is also how you get money back: TDS is routinely over-deducted on NRI income, and a return is the only way to claim the refund.
Rental income from an Indian property is taxable in India, after the standard deduction and any home-loan interest. Capital gains from selling property or mutual funds must be reported — and where TDS was deducted on the full sale value, the return reclaims the excess. DTAA relief (the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement between India and your country of residence) ensures you aren't taxed twice on the same income — but only if it's claimed correctly.
The India return is usually due by 31 July following the financial year. Miss it and you can lose the ability to carry forward losses or face interest and penalties. We make sure the right return is filed, on time, with every deduction and treaty benefit applied.

NRI tax filing, in plain language
The common questions, answered. Indicative only — your exact position is confirmed in your free review.
What India income do I have to report?
Income that arises or is received in India: rent from Indian property, interest (including on NRO accounts), capital gains from property or investments, and any India-based business or professional income. Foreign income is generally not taxed in India for an NRI.
How does DTAA stop me being taxed twice?
The Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement between India and your country of residence lets you either claim a credit for tax paid in one country against the other, or have certain income taxed in only one. Claiming it correctly — often with a Tax Residency Certificate — is where most self-filed returns go wrong.
Why would I get a refund?
TDS on NRI income is frequently deducted at a higher rate than your actual liability — especially on property sales and interest. Filing a return reconciles what was withheld against what you truly owe and reclaims the difference. This is why most NRIs we review are owed money.
I received an income-tax notice — what now?
Most NRI notices are routine: a TDS mismatch, unreported income, or a verification request. The mistake is ignoring it, or replying without identifying the section and deadline. We assess the notice and respond, end to end — usually it closes quietly.

NRI tax filing — your questions
Do I need to file an income-tax return in India as an NRI?
If you earned any income in India — rent, interest, capital gains or a property sale — you generally need to file, even if TDS was deducted. Filing is also how you claim a refund of over-deducted TDS, which most NRIs are owed.
Who actually files my return?
Licensed Chartered Accountants prepare and file your India return — in-house or through our vetted professional team. NRI360 coordinates the work and is accountable for the outcome.
Can you help me avoid being taxed twice?
Yes. We apply the relevant DTAA between India and your country of residence so the same income isn't taxed in both — using credits or treaty relief, with the right supporting documents.
