Analysis
Most NRI demands come from TDS credit not reflected, or income added from AIS, such as interest on NRO deposits. Check whether higher TDS deducted on NRO interest already covers the tax. If the demand is right, pay from an NRO account or through the gateway. If wrong, respond and rectify like any resident.
