Benefit's of RNOR status for NRI's

Any person other than a resident Indian citizen is required to file income tax returns in India only on income that arises or accrues in India. The provisions of the Act can be advantageous for NRIs as they are not liable to pay income tax on the following income:

  • Interest on FCNR deposits and NRE deposits if you convert that to RFC (Resident Foreign Currency Account)
  • Withdrawal from offshore retirement accounts
  • Rent received abroad
  • Capital Gains made abroad
  • Interest/Dividend received on Investments/Securities abroad

Deemed to be Not Ordinarily resident

An individual, being a citizen of India, having total income, other than the income from foreign sources, exceeding fifteen lakh rupees during the previous year shall be deemed to be resident in India in that previous year, if he is not liable to tax in any other country or territory by reason of his domicile or residence or any other criteria of similar nature.

However, as per the clarification from CBDT via press release dated 2nd February 2020 to clarify that in case of an Indian citizen who becomes deemed resident of India under this proposed provision, income earned outside India by him shall not be taxed in India unless it is derived from an Indian business or profession.

The condition for deemed residential status applies only if the total income (other than foreign sources) exceeds Rs 15 lakh and nil tax liability in other countries or territories by reason of his domicile or residence or any other criteria of similar nature.

unless earned through an Indian business/profession
