    As an NRI, I want to share my experience of paying taxes on the interest that I have earned in the NRO account. I have earned a total of 30% interest in my NRO account, which has been deducted along with all applicable surcharges and cess. The income that is generated in my bank account as interest is subject to a 30% TDS deduction in India.

    If you are receiving money in your account directly into your account and the money is taxable because you are an NRI. This is because the income you receive is taxable whether you are an NRI or an Indian resident. NRO account is also taxable according to the Indian slab rate. You need to pay 30.90% TDS on the payment that you will make.
