A non resident Indian has some FD with a bank, which is not a NRE a/c. Bank is crediting the interest after deducting TDS @ 10%. What will be the tax liability of non resident in this case ? Will he be allowed for Rs. 2,00,000/- basic exemption ?

1. The interest is taxable in India. 2. The non-resident will have to file a return and claim refund of the tax. 3. The slab rate applicable to a normal individual resident in India is also applicable to a non-resident individual. Slab rate of senior citizen and super senior citizen is NOT applicable.
