Income Tax Filing for NRIs
Simple, Accurate, Fast ITR 1 Filing
If you are an NRI earning simple income from India such as bank interest, pension, or one employer salary, your tax return is usually straightforward. The challenge is not complexity. It is distance, documentation, deadlines, and knowing which form is correct. Many NRIs mistakenly file the wrong ITR form or trust generic tools that do not consider NRI tax rules.
NRIHelpLine helps you file your ITR 1 accurately, on time, and fully compliant with Indian tax laws.
“NRIs can file ITR 1 only if their Indian income is simple, such as pension, one salary source, or interest income.“
“If you hold an NRE or NRO account, your filing category changes even if your income is small.”
Who Should File ITR 1 as an NRI
You can use ITR 1 only if ALL of the following apply:
- You earned simple income from India
- Your income comes from one employer salary, pension, or bank interest
- You do not have capital gains
- You do not have foreign assets or foreign income
- You do not have multiple house properties
- Your income does not include business or professional income
- Your TDS on Indian income has been deducted correctly
If any item above does not apply, you must file ITR 2.
(We will guide you to the correct form during the counseling session.)
