Before becoming a NRI , resident individual having saving account in different bank in India. What if NRI remits his income from aborad to this saving account which were there before he became NRI??? Is it taxable????

Technically, he has to inform his bankers to convert his savings account into NRO A/c within a prescribed period. * As his status is NRI and after receiving the income there, he is remitting his income after paying taxes in that country, so it can't be said as income accrued or arise in India. * As such no tax is leviable on remittance.

Remittances from abroad is not taxable but interest in these accounts will be taxable.
