ITR filing services for NRIs in FY 2025–26

For Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), filing Income Tax Returns (ITR) in India remains a vital compliance requirement, even whilst living abroad. As the financial year 2025–26 is already underway, NRIs must remain informed about evolving tax rules, reporting obligations, and the advantages of professional ITR filing services. Alankit Dubai is dedicated to making this process straightforward, ensuring NRIs meet the tax compliance with ease.

Why NRIs need to file ITR in India

NRIs are required to file ITR in India if they earn income that is taxable under Indian law. This includes:

  • Rental income from property in India
  • Capital gains from the sale of assets such as shares or real estate
  • Income from fixed deposits, mutual funds, or dividends
  • Any income exceeding the basic exemption limit

Even if tax is deducted at source (TDS), filing ITR is essential to claim refunds, avoid penalties, and maintain compliance with the Income Tax Department.

Key changes in FY 2025–26

The Indian government continues to refine tax regulations for NRIs. For FY 2025–26, NRIs should note:

  • Digital filing mandates: Most returns must be filed electronically, with e-verification through Aadhaar OTP, net banking, or other approved methods.
  • Updated Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA): NRIs can benefit from revised treaties that prevent double taxation on income earned in India and abroad.
  • Capital gains reporting: Enhanced disclosure requirements for overseas assets and investments ensure transparency.
  • New tax slabs under the simplified regime: NRIs may opt for the new regime if beneficial, though exemptions and deductions may differ.

Benefits of professional ITR filing services

Navigating Indian tax laws from abroad can be complex. Alankit Dubai offers specialised services to NRIs, including:
