FAQ
Who is an NRI?
An NRI or Non-Resident Indian is either an Indian citizen or a Person of Indian Origin (PIO: individuals whose parents were born in undivided India) who is not a “Resident” for the purposes of the Income Tax Act, 1961. See Section 115C.
I am an NRI. Does the Indian Income Tax Act apply to me?
NRIs are taxed when they earn any income in India. For FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27), the basic exemption limit for NRIs is Rs. 2.5 lakh under the old tax regime and Rs. 4 lakh under the new (default) tax regime. Note that the Section 87A rebate is available only to resident individuals, so non-residents cannot claim it. Interest earned on NRE and FCNR deposit accounts is exempt from Indian income tax, subject to the conditions of the law, while NRO interest is taxable. Payments to NRIs are generally subject to TDS under Section 195.
How you are taxed depends upon your residential status. See question below.
Do NRIs have to file income tax returns in India?
Under Section 139, return-filing requirements for NRIs depend on taxable income in India, income type, treaty position, TDS, refund claims, and other statutory conditions for the relevant assessment year. For FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27), the due date for NRIs not requiring audit is 31 July 2026, unless extended by the government.
You may also want to furnish your return if you wish to claim tax refunds or carry forward losses from business or capital transfers to reduce capital gains tax. Note that Schedule FA (Foreign Assets) is required only from residents (ordinarily resident); non-residents do not have to report their foreign assets in the Indian return.
How do I know what my residential status is?
There are three categories of taxpayers in India:
- Residents
- Residents but Not Ordinarily Resident
- Non-residents
So far as an NRI is concerned, you will generally not be considered a resident if your stay in India is less than 182 days in the financial year. However, an Indian citizen or person of Indian origin whose Indian-sourced income exceeds Rs. 15 lakh may be treated as resident (not ordinarily resident) if the stay is 120 days or more, so the day-count rules should be checked carefully for each year.
