The amount earned through different business transactions, income, or profits is chargeable under the Income Tax Act 1961. NRIs can also claim a TDS refund when filing tax returns.
Just like resident Indians, the taxation for NRI citizens also involves fine considerations. Section 195 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (ITA) stands as a pivotal guide, specifically outlining the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) procedures applicable to NRIs.
Non-Resident Indians (NRI) also have to file their tax returns for the income earned in India, just like the resident Indians. Therefore, the income tax payments for an NRI citizen are a bit complex compared to the resident Indians. The tax payment guideline for NRIs is listed in Section 195 of the Income Tax Act.
Section 195 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (ITA) provides information on the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) for all Non-Resident Indians (NRIs).
TDS is the primary way of gathering taxes. It is an efficient way of taking care of tax leakages by withdrawing the Tax at the time of payment and putting the responsibility of TDS on the individual making the payment.
Section 195 of the Income Tax Act provides information for TDS for NRI on payments made by NRI citizens. It highlights the tax rates and deductions involved in an NRI citizen’s business transactions. While making the payments, providing the certificate of remittance is compulsory. Section 195 also mentions the guidelines for avoiding a revenue loss from any NRI tax liability by deducting that amount from their source payments.
To determine an individual’s resident status, Section 6 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 outlines the criteria as follows:
An individual will be categorized as a Resident in India during a previous year if they meet either of the following conditions:
An individual failing to meet both conditions mentioned above will be classified as a Non-Resident for that specific previous year.
However, for an Indian citizen or a person of Indian origin visiting India within the year, the 60 days in condition (2) is replaced with 182 days. The same concession applies to an Indian citizen leaving India during a previous year as a crew member or for employment purposes outside India.
If someone deducts TDS under section 195, they must consider the following conditions:
Section 195 deals with Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) for payments made to non-resident Indians (NRIs) and foreign companies. The applicable TDS rate depends on the type of income and the PAN availability of the payee (recipient). Here is a breakdown:

Any person who makes a payment to a non-resident that is taxable in India (other than a wage or interest as defined in sections 194LB, 194LC, and 194LD) is required to withhold tax per this section.
A resident or non-resident, a person, a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), a partnership firm, another NRI, a foreign company, or an artificial juridical entity might be the payer, the one who pays the NRI or remits the payment (for example, a corporation, government agency or non-profit organization).
Any person making a payment to a non-resident must get a TAN and deduct tax at the appropriate rates in light of the provisions of section 195. Within the set deadlines, the payer must deposit the tax withheld with the government against the payee’s PAN. The payer must also provide the TDS return in Form 27Q by the quarterly deadlines and give the non-resident the TDS certificate in Form 16A.
Section 195 of the ITA provides the rates and deductions for Non-Resident Indians. It focuses primarily on the tax rates and deductions on business transactions with an NRI. The amount generated through these transactions is chargeable under the Income Tax Act. To deduct the TDS on Non-Residents, the steps provided under Section 195 should be followed.
