Ans.
I do not think that interest is subjected to 30 to 33% rate. It will be 10% .

1) Yes.

06 February 2011 Q. 2) all deducted tds shall be refunded if no tax liability for a particular year and tax to be paid as the same residence Indian.

Ans . Yes


06 February 2011 Q. 3) is the only income from earned from in India to shown in the income tax return i.e salary and other amount in foreign country not to be shown?
Ans. Yes. Only he has to show his status as NRI.
Further, I have not seen any column except
Schedule :EI in the return ,where Foreign income of NRI can be shown. It is a better compliance if you show such exempt income in this Schedule.

06 February 2011 4) are deductions are applicable as residence Indian? i.e premium paid for LIc. Do fresh tax saving FD’s and so on.
Ans . Yes. Deduction U/s 80C is available.
Fresh investments can be made from explained sources of income.

06 February 2011 1. Yes, however, NRIs have special exemption from filing ROI irrespective of amount of NRO Interest Income earned provided:

i) He has funded NRO Deposits from NRE Accounts or from Foreign Inward remittance (you need to check this condition),

ii) Tax is deducted at appropriate rate (in your case, 30.9% is appropriate rate and you qualify with this condition)

iii) He does not have any other Income taxable in India (he is only earning Investment Income and LTCG as prescribed under section 115C). (I understand that you do not have any other income taxable in India and so you may be qualifying this condition)

2. Yes, but maximum amount not chargeable to tax shall be Rs. 1.6 lacs for Non resident male/Female/Senior citizen.

3. Yes, even no need to show Income earned outside India as exempt Income as it doesn't fall under the scope (section 4) of Indian Income Tax and needless to say more.

4. Yes, even any money paid for life insurance contract outside India is eligible for deduction u/s. 80C.

Should you have any query, write me.

07 February 2011 Transfer from NRO A/c to NRE A/c is not allowed, in my view. In NRE A/c you may remit fund from outside India only.

Your mom can gift you and the amount can be deposited in NRO A/c . You have to check interest amount and for claiming TDS amount you have to file return.

Pl. Wait for Juzer's comments.
