My daughter has an NRO account which was converted from her resident account after her status changed to NRI. After that the NRO account has been credited with dividends from Mutual Funds, SB interest and payouts from Life Insurance maturities and survival benefits. Last year 2023-24, HDFC mutual funds worth Rs 159692 were bought. Her status in HDFC MF is also in NRI status.
While filing for income tax for AY 2024-25 ( i) I could see an amount of Rs 46772/- under the heading Dividend Income' (chargeable at normal rate) - which is correct and this is showing in AIS/26AS (ii) I could see an amount of Rs. 46772/- again under the heading 'Any other Income chargeable at special rate'. The actual head shown is 115A(1)(a)(iii) - Income received in respect of units of UTI purchased in foreign currency ? This is not shown in AIS.
Is amount under (ii) correct or this is a mistake from ITD in auto filling?
