A special rule says an NRI whose only income is investment income or long-term gains under the special NRI chapter, with full TDS, need not file a return. Whether it fits depends on the type of assets and TDS.

Provisions

Sec 115G, Income-tax Act 1961

Analysis

This rule covers specified foreign exchange assets and conditions, so check before relying on it. Even if not required, filing may get you a refund if TDS was higher than tax. Filing also keeps a clean record. Get advice if unsure.
