Seafarer taxation has unique rules under the Income Tax Act. Filing under the wrong form or missing Section 10(4)(ii) schedules triggers automated tax demands on foreign sea pay.
Banks automatically report high-value foreign remittances from shipping principals to the Income Tax portal. If your return doesn't report it under exempt schedules, demands are issued automatically.
Unlike regular travelers whose days count on passport immigration stamps, seafarers are legally governed by the Continuous Discharge Certificate (CDC) entries under Rule 126.
If an Indian manning agent deducted TDS in error, our CA desk files corrective refund schedules to get 100% of your withheld money back into your bank account.
Official Verification: Electronically transmitted & Aadhaar OTP verified via EVC. High-value foreign remittance audit defense successfully established under Section 10(4)(ii).
Statutorily mandates that both the date of signing on the Continuous Discharge Certificate and the date of signing off count as days spent outside India.
CBDT confirmed that salary received by non-resident seafarers for services outside India is non-taxable even if deposited directly to an Indian NRE account.
Any interest earned by a non-resident individual on funds held in Non-Resident External (NRE) savings or fixed deposit accounts is 100% exempt from Indian tax.
Seafarers with foreign salary credits and exempt NRE accounts are legally required to file ITR-2 with Schedule EI (Exempt Income) to avoid scrutiny notices.
