India NRI tax preparation

An NRI filing review starts with residency for the relevant period, the complete income categories and the right supporting statements. Indian tax law and forms can change between years; these preparation guides deliberately avoid presenting a single rate or date as a universal answer. Confirm the applicable tax period, procedure and source instructions before filing.

Preparation resource. Editorial review: November 3, 2026. This guide helps organize records and questions; it does not determine your tax position. Use the agency instructions for the relevant year and obtain advice for your circumstances.

NRI ITR-2 preparation: income and asset records

Describe all income categories before choosing an Indian return form. A form-selection review should use the taxpayer's residency and activities for the relevant year rather than a previously filed form alone.

NRI business or professional income: ITR-3 records

Prepare business activity and books alongside the person's Indian and foreign tax circumstances. The reviewer needs to assess form selection and any additional compliance rather than treating business receipts as ordinary investment income.

AIS and Form 26AS: reconcile them with your records

Compare the information statements with the underlying transactions and identify duplication or missing items. These statements support the review but should not replace the taxpayer's complete income and transaction records.

NRO interest and TDS: records for return preparation

Reconcile bank interest and tax deducted with the information statements and relevant return year. The preparer can assess the final liability and possible refund only after reviewing the complete filing position.

Collect seller residency, purchase history and sale documents before reviewing withholding and the final return. Separate the amount withheld from the final capital-gain calculation and any available certificate process.

Remittance forms: 15CA/15CB and 145/146 review records

Describe the payment, recipient and underlying agreement before selecting a remittance-compliance route. The relevant forms and exceptions need a transaction-specific review rather than a blanket rule for all overseas transfers.

Form 67: foreign-tax-credit preparation records

Match foreign income and eligible tax with the Indian reporting period and applicable procedure. Keep payment and assessment evidence so a withholding estimate is not mistaken for a completed foreign-tax-credit calculation.

India NRI tax preparation

Tax residency certificates: Form 10F / Form 41 review

Identify the treaty claim and the recipient's residency evidence before requesting a payment treatment. The preparer needs the relevant period and documentation requirements, not only a general statement that a treaty exists.

Revising an Indian return: correction records

Start with the filed return and a precise explanation of the proposed correction. The available revision or other correction route must be reviewed for the relevant year, status and deadlines.

India NRI tax preparation

NRI capital gains: transaction and cost records

Keep investments and property transactions separate, preserving acquisition history and sale expenses. Residency, asset type and the applicable tax year need to be established before any rate or exemption is assumed.

Use a guide, then confirm your filing scope

Begin with the issue that matches your records. Follow the links to related topics when your situation involves another country, business ownership, investments or an earlier return. A records checklist helps preparation; it does not decide tax residency, eligibility, an election or the final amount due.

The team confirms the applicable year, required forms and preparation fee before work. Use the public consultation form for a short description. Send tax documents only through the private portal once requested.
