The Authorised Dealer may retain such declaration with them for future reference from Income Tax Authorities, if any.

Attention of Authorised Dealers is also invited to A.P.(DIR Series) Circular No.5 dated July 15, 2002 wherein it has been clarified that Authorised Dealers may credit the current income to the NRE accounts of NRIs provided they are satisfied that the credit represents current income of the non-resident account holder and income tax thereon has been deducted/paid/provided for, as the case may be.

4. It is clarified that in terms of item 3 (B)(ii) of Schedule 3 to Notification No. FEMA 5/2000 RB dated May 3, 2000 for remitting current income credited to NRO A/c, as well as for crediting current income to NRE Account of the NRI in terms of clarifications given in A.P. (DIR Series) Circular No. 5 dated July 15, 2002, requirement of submission of income-tax declaration/ Chartered Accountant’s certificate stating that the income-tax thereon has been deducted /paid/provided for, is applicable. In case NRIs/PIOs have no taxable income in India, the procedure indicated in paragraph No.2 above may be followed.

Maturity proceeds of NRNR Deposits

5. Authorised Dealers may also refer to A.P.(DIR Series) Circular No.28 dated March 4, 2002 in terms of which maturity proceeds of NRNR deposits should be credited to NRE accounts. It is clarified that proceeds of the NRNR deposit on maturity may be allowed to be repatriated outside India in case the accountholder does not maintain NRE account.

6. Authorised Dealers may bring the contents of the circular to the notice of their constituents concerned.

7. The directions contained in this circular have been issued under Section 10(4) and Section 11(1) of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (42 of 1999).
