    It is also good to check whether the country of migration has a DTAA (Double Tax Avoidance Agreement) with India. There are many countries with which India has a tie-up to ensure there is no double taxation on income earned in one country and taxes are paid in both countries. This is to ensure that taxes are not paid twice.

Only after filing the income return can NRIs claim a refund along with accrued interest.

  • Q: Can NRIs claim tax benefits in India for investments made abroad?

    No, tax benefits in India are generally applicable to investments made within the country. Investments made abroad may not qualify for the same benefits.
