NRI ITR Filing Basic
Simple, Compliant Income Tax Return for NRIs
Filing income tax in India as an NRI should not feel stressful. If your Indian income is simple, such as interest from NRO accounts, small salary components, or minimal rental income, you need a clean, accurate, and compliant ITR filing process that protects you from notices, penalties, and delays.
Our NRI ITR Filing Basic service is designed for NRIs who have straightforward Indian income and want a quick, reliable, and fully compliant tax filing experience handled by experts who understand NRI-specific laws.
We take care of the computation, AIS reconciliation, form selection, filing, verification, and post-filing support so that you never have to worry about mistakes or missed deadlines.
“NRIs with NRO interest income must file ITR if TDS has been deducted. Filing ensures proper reporting and quicker refunds.”
“Filing the wrong ITR form is the most common mistake NRIs make. Basic income requires ITR 2 in most cases.”

Who Should Use the NRI ITR Filing Basic Service
This service is suitable for NRIs who have simple or low-volume income earned or received in India, such as:
- Interest on NRO accounts
- Small rental income from one property
- Salary income from an Indian employer
- Dividend income
- Capital gains from mutual fund redemptions below reporting thresholds
- Single-source Indian income without complexity
If your income includes foreign earnings, capital gains from property sale, Form 67, large rent, multi-property income, or complex structures, you should use the NRI ITR Filing Advanced service.
Understanding the Problem
NRIs with simple income often assume their cases are straightforward, yet they face hidden risks:
Incorrect form selection
Many NRIs mistakenly file ITR 1 or ITR 4. These forms are not applicable to NRIs.
Overlooking AIS mismatches
Most NRIs do not review AIS or TIS. If it does not match your filing, the return can be flagged for review.
TDS mismatch issues
Banks often deduct TDS inconsistently. If this is not reconciled, refunds get delayed.
Wrong residential status
Incorrect residential status causes incorrect tax treatment and leads to queries.
Missed reporting
Always report interest income even if TDS has been deducted.
A simple return still needs expert handling to avoid problems later.
