I am having difficulty to filling ITR 2 form. I earned salary in GBP while working in UK as NRI. UK govt has deducted tax and provided me tax certificate (P60). Now I want to submit my ITR and getting following difficulties.
1. under FSI sheet, there is no country code for UK. I selected others. Is that Ok? also I entered my passport number as tax payer identification number as I didn't have TIN. would that be fine? 2. which currency I use to enter amount GBP or INR. If INR what exchange rate I should use. 3. what should I enter for column "Tax payable on such income under normal provisions in India", "Tax relief available in India (id)= (ib) or (ic) whichever is lower" and "Relevant article of DTAA if relief claimed u/s 90 or 90A (ie)". 4. Under TR_FA sheet, under which section relief should be claimed, 90, 90A or 91. 5. what should I enter for this, "Whether any tax paid outside India, on which tax relief was allowed in India, has been refunded/credited by the foreign tax authority during the year? If yes, provide the details below". So just for you knowledge, there was no refund from UK govt on deducted tax. 6. Should I mention my UK salary bank account detail in this sheet.
any help would appreciate.
Also I read somewhere, if you are NRI for that particular financial year and taxed outside India, you dont need to fill ITR, what are pro and cons of this. Please advise.

Thanks Amol for quick reply. However it does not help much. For salary amount in INR, what exchange rate I should use. Also question number 3, 4 and 5 please.

01. Please go through the following links for your confusion about 90, 90A and 91 http://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/Pages/acts/income-tax-act.aspx sec 90 http://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/Pages/acts/income-tax-act.aspx sec 90A http://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/Pages/acts/income-tax-act.aspx sec 91
With the information given by you, I am of the opinion that your case falls under 90.. (What do you say?)
02. As told in my earlier reply, you need to fill the FSI sheet with INR. You can select the rate as on that date, for conversion.
03. I could NOT get you for your doubt on TR_FA sheet......if you put non resident as your status...almost all of the TR_FA sheet becomes disabled. Please elaborate your query regarding same.
04. if refund is not claimed/received from UK, then keep that blank...it means zero

In case of a resident, how to disclose income received when exercising employment (on secondment) to foreign country? Under article 15 of india-swiss dtaa, such income is taxable where employment is exercised. In ITR 2, foreign tax is lower than indian tax thereon but under treaty it is not taxable
