Helping NRIs manage Indian tax, investments, property and cross-border compliance
Every one of these can create Indian tax and compliance obligations, even when you live abroad. We manage the filings, certificates, deductions and deadlines connected to your NRI tax compliance in India.
Resident in the UAE, non-resident in India — as long as your India days stay under the applicable limit.
Received in the UAE and generally outside the Indian tax net when you qualify as a non-resident.
Your Indian flat, mutual funds, shares and NRO balance remain connected to India.
Rent, interest, dividends and capital gains can create Indian tax and reporting obligations.
TDS may be withheld first. Your DTAA position and tax return determine the applicable treatment.
Eligible funds can be repatriated to your UAE account with the required tax and bank documentation.
Six steps, one paper trail — all of it recorded in India. Miss a link along the way — an unclaimed TDS credit, a missing certificate or a status assumed rather than checked — and it can surface later as blocked money or a tax notice.
Discuss My Tax SituationThe India–UAE tax treaty helps determine which country can tax specific income. Your eligibility depends on your tax residency, income type and the treaty provisions that apply to your situation.
| INCOME TYPE | TAXED IN INDIA? | WHAT THE TREATY CAN CHANGE |
|---|---|---|
| UAE salary | Generally no | Employment income earned and received in the UAE is generally outside the Indian tax net when you qualify as a non-resident. The applicable treatment still depends on your residential status and circumstances. |
| Rent from Indian property | Yes | India generally retains taxing rights over income from immovable property located in India. The treaty does not automatically remove Indian tax; applicable TDS and tax credits still need to be considered. |
| Capital gains on Indian assets | Yes | The treatment can vary by asset class and the applicable treaty provisions. Capital gains from Indian property can remain taxable in India. |
| NRO interest | Yes | NRO interest is generally taxable in India. Where treaty relief is available, the applicable withholding rate may depend on your eligibility and supporting documentation. |
| NRE interest | Exempt | NRE interest can be exempt under applicable Indian law while you qualify as a non-resident. The treatment can change if your residential status changes. |
| Dividends from Indian companies | Depends | Dividends from Indian companies can be taxable in India with tax withheld at source. The applicable treaty rate may apply where you qualify and meet the documentation requirements. |
TO CLAIM A TREATY POSITION: A treaty position may require a valid Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) from the UAE authorities, Form 10F, PAN and other supporting declarations, depending on the income and treaty provision involved. We check your eligibility and documentation before applying for the relevant treaty position.
It usually comes down to two things: your residential status for the year and whether you hold a valid UAE Tax Residency Certificate.

Most UAE NRIs don't arrive with a tax question. They arrive with a situation.
Rental income from Indian property can involve TDS and Indian tax filing for an NRI. We calculate the taxable house property income, account for eligible deductions and help you claim any excess TDS through your return.
Eligible NRE and NRO funds can be repatriated subject to applicable rules and documentation. We check what can be transferred, coordinate Form 15CA and 15CB requirements, and prepare the paperwork your bank needs.

A quick look at how the India–UAE tax treaty affects your income and withholding.
Read the guideThree reasons UAE NRIs come to us with something bigger than a return.
Property, market investments and the Indian tax reporting that follows them.
Set up an Indian business from the UAE with documentation and compliance handled at both ends.
Plan your move before your residential status changes and creates new tax and reporting obligations.
Salary earned and received in the UAE is generally outside the Indian tax net for someone who qualifies as a non-resident. Indian-source income, such as rent, interest or capital gains, may still be taxable in India.
Rental income from property in India is generally taxable in India. An NRI may also have TDS deducted on the rent, with the final tax liability determined after applicable deductions and filing.
It depends on your Indian income, tax liability and applicable filing requirements. NRIs with taxable Indian income or other filing obligations may need to file an Indian income tax return.
Depending on your income, you may need your PAN, passport, bank details, Form 26AS, AIS, TDS certificates and documents relating to Indian property, investments or other income.
Yes, where excess tax has been deducted and a refund is due, an NRI can claim it through the applicable income tax return after reconciling the TDS with the available tax records.
DTAA benefits depend on your residential status, the type of income and the applicable treaty provisions. Supporting documents, such as a UAE Tax Residency Certificate, may be required to claim treaty relief.
A Tax Residency Certificate helps establish your tax residency in the UAE when seeking applicable treaty benefits. Additional documentation, such as Form 10F, may also be required depending on the claim.
Eligible NRI/PIO remittances from NRO balances and certain Indian assets can generally be made up to USD 1 million per financial year, subject to applicable conditions, taxes and bank documentation.
Capital gains arising from the sale of Indian property can be taxable in India. The applicable treatment depends on factors including the asset, holding period, transaction and relevant tax rules.
Returning to India can change your residential status and the way your Indian and foreign income is treated. Your status should be assessed for the relevant tax year, including whether RNOR provisions may apply.
