Tax planning
NRI income tax return, ITR-2 or ITR-3
What this means, checked by a CA
If you live abroad but earn in India, you may still need to file, and you often have a refund waiting because TDS on NRIs is high. We confirm your residential status by day count, report only Indian income, apply treaty rates where they help, and file ITR-2 or ITR-3 with the refund going to a validated Indian account.
