Income Tax Return (ITR)

An Income Tax Return (ITR) is a form through which an Assessee submits information about their income and tax liabilities to the Income Tax Department. According to the income tax laws in India, an ITR must be filed annually by individuals or businesses earning income from various sources such as salary, business profits, house property, dividends, capital gains, or other sources during a financial year.

Due Date to File ITR for Financial Year

The Income Tax Act, 1961 mandates citizens to file their tax returns for every financial year within the specified due dates. The deadlines are as follows:

  • For Individuals Not Requiring an Audit: The due date for filing the ITR is 31st July of the Assessment Year.
  • For Individuals Requiring an Audit: The due date for filing the ITR is 31st October of the Assessment Year. This deadline may be extended by the Income Tax Department.

These deadlines are subject to change based on directives issued by the Income Tax Department or the Ministry of Finance, India.

Belated Return

If the ITR is not filed within the due date, a belated return can still be submitted. The last date to file a belated return is 31st December of the Assessment Year.

Conditions Mandating the Filing of Income Tax Returns for Individuals

According to the Income Tax Act, 1961, an individual is required to file an Income Tax Return (ITR) under the following conditions:

1. Exceeding the Specified Income Limit:

It is mandatory for an individual to file an ITR if their gross annual income exceeds the specified limit set by the income tax laws. The current thresholds are:

      • Rs. 2,50,000 for individuals below 60 years of age
      • Rs. 3,00,000 for individuals between 60 and 80 years of age
      • Rs. 5,00,000 for individuals above 80 years of age

2. Multiple Sources of Income:

    • Filing an ITR is mandatory if the individual has income from multiple sources, such as capital gains, house property, or other sources.

3. Claiming Income Tax Refund:

    • If the taxpayer wishes to claim a refund for excess tax paid or deducted at source, filing an ITR is required.

4. Foreign Assets or Income:

    • An individual must file an ITR if they have earned income from foreign assets or have made investments in foreign assets during the financial year.

5. Visa or Loan Applications:

    • Filing an ITR is necessary if the taxpayer intends to apply for a visa or a loan, as these documents are often required by visa authorities and financial institutions.

Filing an ITR is essential not only for compliance but also for claiming refunds, carrying forward losses, and obtaining necessary financial documentation for various purposes.

Types of Income Tax Returns (ITRs)

Income Tax Provisions for NRIs

The taxable income of an NRI solely relies on the residential status of the person in the concerned year. If the status is – Resident then the income, earned at national or international front, of the individual will be taxable in India, whereas, in the contrast case of NRI Status, the income that is earned in India will only be taxable in India. The examples of income earned in India includes the salary earned in India by doing a job or providing services in India, capital gains on transfer of ownership of assets that are situated in India, gain from a house property located in India, income from FDs or interest on savings bank account in India. Such incomes which are earned in India are taxable income for NRIs. However, the income earned in Foreign country or outside India is not taxable in India. Interest earned on an FCNR account and NRE account is exempted from tax. Interest on NRO accounts attracts tax from an NRI.

There are so many NRI families in today’s world where a member of the family is working outside the country but sends money to his family back in India or makes investment planning for their families or their future. This raises a major concern about NRI Income tax return in India. During every tax filing season, every tax-paying citizen of the country tries to find out the best way he/she can save the total amount of income tax payable on their hard-earned money. Therefore, the NRI Income tax return works completely in favor of the NRI citizens because it allows them to bring NRI income to India, but income which is earned outside India by an NRI is not taxed in India.

Simultaneously, there are various other types of income earned by citizens that are not taxed in India. Though, most NRIs have bank accounts such as non-resident external accounts or foreign currency non-resident accounts that are used by them in India. Indian residents, however, are liable to pay tax on their savings accounts which have an interest charged above INR 10,000, but NRI residents having NRO account are not liable to pay tax on the interest that is charged on their bank accounts. Similarly, investments made by an NRI citizen are also not taxed in India.

NRI taxation rules allow people with income earned outside India to invest in the country which adds to the economy of the country and therefore is a very favorable norm. This helps the government gain investments from NRI’s without spending money on non-residents. If there are any long-term or short-term gains received from the sale of assets in the country or investments made, then the gains will be taxed in India. So, retail income is taxed in India. If an NRI inherits the property or any other kind of asset from their parents or relative, that will not be taxed in India when the ownership is being transferred. But if there are gains generated from transferred assets such as rental income or income from the sale of the asset will be taxed for the NRI citizen. Under Section 54, 54ECand 54F there are some important benefits received from deduction of income tax that can be availed if someone invests the proceedings of any type of long term or short-term capital gains in India. But if an NRIs total gains which would include earnings from all sources such as rent, dividend, capital gains, investment income, etc. exceeds INR 2.5lakh then they must file for the process of taxes.

NRI citizens are not eligible to make a certain investment such as investing in National Saving Certificates (NSC), Senior Citizen Schemes, Post Office Time Deposits, or they are also not allowed to open new PPF accounts or extend their current PPF accounts. However, a lot of other saving instrument schemes such as home loans, life insurance, pension plan, and equity-linked saving schemes for mutual funds are still allowed for NRIs to invest in. An NRI can also claim the amount of tuition fee that is paid for his spouse or children in India. Under section 80D, health insurance policies or health checkups paid by an NRI for his/her parents or dependents that are in India is allowed.

Income Tax Slabs and Rates for NRIs for FY 2020-21 & AY 2021-22

As per the Income Tax Act of India, non-resident Indians must duly pay taxes to the Indian government. But the income tax rates for NRIs are not the same as that of Indian residents. The slabs of taxes for them are mainly based on the income they have earned and not all the other factors.

Taxation helps, improve the services and products that are availed by Indian citizens.
