[@sriramrao2514]

Just google for CBDT circular 13 of 2017 dt. 11.04.2017

[@venkatrajeshwar290]

Immence help eye opening 👍

[@yuvrajrathore95]

Please note that the an important information provided in the video is incorrect - refer to Pramod-Kumar-Sapra-Vs.-Income-Tax-Officer-ITAT-Delhi case where it clearly says that just because income is received in a bank account in India for a non resident it cannot be taxable unless the source is Indian or the DTAA requires so. The example given in the video does not meet the criteria under section 9 of the income tax act and therefore is not the right interpretation.

[@sriramrao2514]

Hello… Hope you have watched the video fully… In the video, I have always pressed on the point that “MAY” & “MIGHT” when it comes to taxability of funds directly received in NRE. I am aware that there are several decision of ITAT and in some case even High Courts which held that under certain facts and circumstances it would not be taxable. I have specifically mentioned in the video also. Further, I would also like you to know that, this forum is suitable to talk technical. Otherwise, even I can talk section-wise, word by word and reading between the line, discussing about various case laws & nuances of them and interpretation of law etc.. but that would not give the desired result, which is to follow Principal of ‘PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE’. When it comes to receipts from Salary earned from exercising employment outside of India, the courts have time and again held in favour of NR assessee. However, it is litigious. The department would always want to tax and assessee has to litigate to get desired result/outcome. But if assessee has options, then why cannot he exercise/practice the same rather than getting into complexities. This is the main intention of the video.

[@noushadch9624]

Yes, we have watched full. But there is already a verdict from ITAT.In recent judgement ITAT has held that only because the overseas employer paid salary into NRE account of the assessee in India, it would not imply that the income is taxable in India.. ABCAUS 3773 (2023) (06) ITAT. All viewers and subscribers of your channel expect a clarification / correction from you with reference to the foregoing verdict from ITAT.. Surprised Why not you accepting or discussing the verdict of ITAT. Why u stick with ur argument may / mught? We don't expect this from a CA professional.

[@shitanshudamania8226]

Agree

[@alitshariff]

and how about money made from doing business outside in a foreign country while being an NRI and then gets it remitted to the NRE account by the business owner? like a seafarer

[@subodhpatwardhan8108]

Thank you for the informative vedio. I have recently redeemed my Mutual Fund investments and depending upon the source of Purchase, they are credited to my NRO & NRE acconts respectively. TDS (@ 10.4%) is cut on all redumptions as I am NRI. Now my question is, do these redumption amounts need to be considered to caluclate my agregate income and will that get taxed as per the normal tax slabs in India ?

[@ravishanker4217]

Thanks for the informative video. May I request that if possible a video be published outlining shareholders' rights and options when companies fail to provide TDS Certificates on dividends paid? Thank you.

[@CS-si8kl]

NRE FD interests are Tax Free for Indian tax purposes. But one might want to check their resident country's tax rules on world wide incomes

[@shamrao3954]

To explain better is that an employee must transfer from his personal account to India nre account, as this is treated as savings and then transfer to his nre account. Or else when an employer transfers directly to nre account of the employer then it is treated as receipt and hence taxed, is correct

[@ganapathyiyersubramanysubr1268]

[@ramanarainn6336]

Hi Sriram.. very knowledgeable video and helped me to understand the tax rules. My Question, is that allowed to have normal savings bank account in different bank than NRE account bank?...also we can transfer from NRE account to same person savings account or different persons savings account also, is that my understanding correct?

[@sriramrao2514]

No, one being NR, can have only NRE/NRO/FCNR accounts… cannot having ordinary resident SB/FD/RD/TD accounts even in other Indian banks… it’s gross violation of FEMA… there are videos in this channel on Violation of FEMA on this channel with CA Dhanush… watch that and be guided

[@avijoshi7696]

Dr Bhat and Dr Rao, I maintain separate NRO & NRE accounts from my wife who in turn has both NRE/NRO accounts. We are not making remittances to our NRE accounts as we are well settled in Australia and have no intention to settle back in India. But from time to time we need to debit/credit our NRE accounts to keep the accounts from going dormant. So once in a while we transfer say Rs 100/- between our NRE accounts. In that case would the credit be considered income and become taxable? Thanks in advance.

[@sriramrao2514]

These are all self explanatory transactions between your own bank accounts or of your wife’s… will not be in the nature of inocme

[@atulrane5765]

suppose salary comes into foreign account..then transferred to NRE..it is tax free. Now if entire amount is sent to NRO account, will it be under taxation? or it has no implications?

[@belagurkrishnamurthyvenkan694]

Very informative, in depth analysis/explanation. My question: My daughter is having NRE account in India. Can she invest in co operative Society FD through NRE account (Transfer money from NRE to co operative Society FD)

[@gopalkrishnaprabhu375]

What I understood and certain queries relating to the same are: 1. Remittance by self by debit to his/ her personal account maintained in the country of his / her residence I.e. person having residential cum employment visa in that country to which the employer credits his / her salary is treated as income earned abroad and remitted by self is not falling under the category income earned in India. If my understanding is correct whether spouse of NRI staying with him / her having bank account abroad and remitting money from.that account is considered as income accrued ( not earned ) abroad and eligible for credit to NRE account and does not attract tax Residential Visa status in the country of employment is the basic criteria. 2. Exemption is for sea fairies account since they do not have any residential visa issued not they live in India too . Kind of Trishanku status. Their income though remitted by their overseas employer is tax free income. Doubt: if the employer is a India based shipping company whether qualifies for NRE Aaccount ? 3. In gulf most of the NRIs do not maintain bank accounts and salary or wages disbursed to them in local currency of the country where they reside/ witk. They remit through exchange houses which are not banks. NRE accounts are opened by banks in India. Grey area : funds are not remitted by debit to NRIs overseas account. 4. As there is no restrictions on the amount of remittance from abroad by debit to his / her account with a bank abroad if such account is funded by business income or third party there other than employer what cheque IT authorities can have if the remittances are disproportionate to ones income ? Possible that individuals overseas account could be misused through funding by many who may be friends or non Indians which may facilitate money laundering Whether the concept of disproportionate wealth ( here balance in overseas account, ) to known income and remittance to NRE Accoubt is a possibility? The query is because bankers here may not be aware of NRIs monthly earning.

Also, should my spouse file the ITR even though, she doesn’t have any income apart from the money I transfer? I hope you’ll help me by addressing my query. Thanks

Since that money will be deducted from y NRE account can that amount after maturity be transferred back to my NRE account?
