Talk to an NRI Tax ExpertWhat is NRI Tax Filing?
NRI tax filing is the process by which a Non-Resident Indian reports and pays tax on income that is earned, received, or accrued in India. NRIs are taxed only on their India-sourced income — such as salary for services rendered in India, rent from Indian property, capital gains on Indian shares or real estate, and interest on NRO accounts — while foreign income generally remains outside the Indian tax net.
From 1 April 2026, the Income Tax Act, 2025 replaces the Income Tax Act, 1961 for income earned from FY 2026-27 onwards, while income earned up to 31 March 2026 remains governed by the 1961 Act. Core NRI taxation rules continue broadly unchanged. We help you determine your correct residential status, obtain a PAN, and file your return of income in India with full DTAA relief.
