Who is Non Resident Indian (NRI) as per Income Tax Act and as Fema Provisions? TDS will be deducted only on those incomes of Non Resident Indians (NRIs) which are liable to tax in India. If the income is tax free in India like long term capital gains from equity shares, there would be no TDS. Another important thing to remember is that you should be an NRI at the time of receiving the income. For instance, you may have purchased a long term debenture of a company while you were a resident Indian. But any interest that you receive during the period after becoming an NRI will be subject to TDS.
It is obvious that the TDS provisions are going to be expanded day by day even in the direct Tax Code era. In the process to recover more and more tax through this mode of recovery, in many cases tax is also deducted from incomes which are expressly exempt. Many cases are wandering the corridors of various courts of law on this ground. This is also reflected in the decided cases. It seems that the issue gets complicated with the increase of TDS coverage. It will be interesting to go through the law and the judge-made law on the issue.
