PAN card
by Manoj on Dec 08, 2006 11:02 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

I got a job in Dubai straight out of college 10 years ago. I've not worked in India, never paid any income taxes in 10 years as an NRI and don't have a PAN card. Should I get a PAN card and submit my returns? I have some NRE and NRNR term deposits in banks in India, is the interest earned taxable?

- Better to get a PAN card - it is required for a multitude of transactions in India nowadays (e.g. buying house, opening demat account, etc).
- On NRE accounts there is no tax
- On NRO accounts there is tax on interest, but quite likely it is deducted by the bank at source
