NRI tax calendar

India’s tax dates and the ones where you live, with who each usually applies to.

An NRI usually works to two tax calendars at once, and they do not line up. India’s tax year runs from 1 April to 31 March. The UK’s runs from 6 April to 5 April. The US, Canada, Singapore and Germany use the calendar year, and Australia runs from 1 July to 30 June. So the same rent from a flat in Mumbai can fall into one Indian year but straddle two British ones, and a return in one country is often due while the other country’s year is still open.

This page lists the dates that come round every year in India and in the countries where most NRIs live. For each one it says who it usually applies to, links to the NRIWallah tool that helps, such as the UK tax calculator, the US tax calculator or the rent TDS calculator, and links to the official page the date was checked against.

Reading the dates

The dates are the usual ones. When a date falls on a weekend or a public holiday, the tax authority usually moves it to the next working day, and governments sometimes extend a deadline for a particular year, as India has done for tax returns several times. Before you file or pay, check the official source linked under each date; it always has the final word.

A date applies to you only if its condition does. Most NRIs file an Indian return only when their Indian income is above the basic exemption or they want back tax withheld at source, and pay Indian advance tax only when the tax left after TDS reaches ₹10,000 in a year. Your days in India decide whether you are an NRI at all, which the day tracker works out. In the UAE and the other Gulf states there is usually no personal income tax return, so only India’s dates apply, along with India’s deemed-residency rule for some Indian citizens.

Your own dates

Signed in to NRIWallah, this page shows India’s dates and your own country’s together, soonest first with the days left, and you can add them to the calendar on your phone. The same dates appear against the jobs in your NRI plan, which lists what usually comes up at your stage of life abroad. The calendar explains when things are due; it is not advice on whether a filing or payment applies to you.

Every rate and threshold here is sourced, dated and shown on the page — but tax rules change, and we would rather be told than be wrong. Reports go to the team that maintains the tool. If you can point at the official source, that gets it fixed fastest.
