NRI TDS refund: your claim checklist

Banks, tenants and buyers in India often deduct more tax (TDS) than a non-resident owes. Filing a return is how the difference comes back. Enter your Indian income items to get the claim checklist, how each item is treated and whether a treaty rate may apply.

Your inputs are used only to calculate this result and are not stored. How we handle data

Needs review: a chartered accountant hasn't confirmed the slabs, rates and limits behind a refund estimate yet, so the tool shows no refund amount. It shows the claim checklist, your own numbers and the rules that apply. Figures come after the review.

Tax year
For 2025-26 the tool shows the claim steps only and asks just for your country and the kinds of income: that year falls under the Income-tax Act, 1961, whose rules we haven't added, so there are no rates, dates or sources for it here.
Which Indian income did you have in that tax year?

Tick every kind that applies. Approximate yearly amounts in rupees are enough.

Hear when the rules are confirmed

We'll email you once a chartered accountant has reviewed the rules behind this tool, and occasionally about money across India and abroad. Your answers are not sent with it.

How this works

The tool runs on inWst's tax rules engine: each slab, rate, limit and date is stored as data with its source, the tax year and whether it has been reviewed. The result lists every rule it used with a link to its source.

While the rules are unreviewed, the tool shows the claim checklist and how each item is treated, and no refund amount. Estimates appear only once a chartered accountant has reviewed the rules.

Your answers are sent once, to work out this result. They are not stored and not logged.
