An NRI is required to file returns if he is having taxable income in India from other sources like bank interest,capital gains,business income etc. There is no obligation as such for him to maintain accounts unless he has activities that attract Sec 44AA of the IT Act 1961. There is no limit for inward remittance thro proper banking and other authorized channels.
