    NRIs have to pay taxes if they earn from any investments or any business. NRIs have a standard deduction of 30% which applies to NRIs, and also if they are earning from their house property, then they should pay the tax that is generated for an NRI.

    The tax rates that apply to the NRI are based on the residential status and the benefits of the DTAA. NRIs' tax rates are the same as those of Indian citizens, but they cannot avail of the extended basic exemption, also they can't claim a rebate of INR 12,500/25,000 under section 87A.

    Many NRIs invest in India and grow their economy along with the country's economy. All these investments are made in India and are subject to taxes. If an NRI purchases shares of long-term capital gains (LTCG) to hold shares or mutual funds for more than 1 year then you are liable to pay 12.5% tax, and for short-term capital gains which you hold for less than 1 year, then you have to pay 20% tax on your gains to investments.
