India Income? File Correctly — Avoid Double Taxation
Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) — those who spend fewer than 182 days in India in a financial year (or fewer than 60 days in certain conditions) — have specific income tax obligations in India. An NRI is taxable in India only on income that accrues or arises in India, or is received in India. This includes rental income from Indian property, capital gains on sale of Indian assets, interest on NRO accounts, dividend from Indian shares, and professional income from Indian sources.
VITTAX's NRI ITR filing service covers complete determination of residential status, computation of India-sourced income, application of DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement) benefits, TDS credit claims, and filing of the correct ITR form (typically ITR-2 for NRIs). We ensure you don't overpay tax due to missed treaty benefits and help you claim TDS refunds where applicable.
Filing deadlines are the same as for residents — July 31 for ITR-1 & 2 and July 31 for ITR-3 of most NRIs, October 31 if tax audit applies. Late filing attracts interest under Sections 423/424/425 [old Act sections 234A/B/C] and late fees under Section 428 [old Act section 234F].

FAQs
Do NRIs need to file ITR in India if all tax is deducted at source?
Not mandatory if income is below ₹2.5 lakh or only TDS-deducted income. But filing is recommended to claim TDS refunds and maintain a clean compliance record.
What is RNOR status?
Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident — a transitional status for returning NRIs in their first 1–3 years. RNOR persons are taxed similarly to NRIs on foreign income.
Can you help with ITRs for past unfiled years?
Yes. Updated returns (ITR-U) can be filed for up to 4 preceding assessment years. We handle late filings and help minimise penalties.
