How can double taxation be avoided by NRIs?

Double taxation occurs when income tax is paid twice, (i.e in the country of residence and in the country where the income is earned) on the same source of earned income. To avoid paying double taxation, NRIs can seek relief under the Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) (wherever available) between the two countries, which is an arrangement between the governments of two countries, prescribing the country in which income earned from a foreign country will be taxed. To avail this benefit, you need to gather all the necessary documents of tax paid in India, as proof. Also if there is any benefit under DTAA, no withholding tax will be deducted if customer submits valid Form 10F and valid Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) issued by Revenue Department of Foreign Country in which customer is residing.

Is Tax deducted at source (TDS) on insurance benefits applicable to NRI?

As per section 195 of the Act, Tax is deducted at source (TDS) for any policy benefit that is not exempt under Section 10(10D). TDS will be applicable on the payout amount for annuity policies under Section 195 of the Act. However, no TDS is deducted for NRIs residing in countries that are subject to Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) benefit, and where the policyholder has submitted a duly-filled Form 10F along with valid Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) to the insurer before payment. Note that where payout is recurring payout like annuity, every year customer needs to submit valid Form 10F and TRC.

What are the tax implications for NRIs investing in ULIPs?

For ULIP policies issued before 1 Feb 2021, maturity amount will be tax free in the hands of recipient if policy is satisfying conditions mentioned under Section 10(10D) of the Act. For policies issued on or after 1 February 2021, if the aggregate annual premium of all unit-linked plans that you have is equal to or less than Rs.2.5 lakhs, maturity amount will be tax free in the hands of recipient if policy is satisfying conditions mentioned under Section 10(10D) of the Act.If the aggregate annual premium is more than Rs.2.5 lakhs, the maturity proceeds would attract capital gains tax. Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) benefit if available can be obtained by the policyholder subject to the necessary documentation.

What are the GST implications for NRI customers?

GST will be applicable as per the rates for respective product type (Term – 18% , Endowment( First year) – 4.5%, renewal premium – 2.25%, Annuity – 1.8%, ULIP – 18% on charges). However, GST waiver benefit can be availed by the NRI customer if the following conditions are satisfied:

  • Proof of foreign address is provided (such as lease agreement, utility bill, driver’s license etc)
  • Premium is paid through NRE bank account/SWIFT transfer (Along with the documentary proofs).
  • GST Waiver declaration (BALIC format) that includes payment through NRE bank account and Indemnity.

What is Tax Residency Certificate (TRC)?

TRC is a certificate issued by the Government of a country stating that the said person is a tax resident. Usually TRC is issued by tax/revenue/reserve departments of a country and is valid only for a certain period. Therefore, policyholders must avail policy benefits while the certificate is still valid – to enjoy DTAA benefit.

Can NRI ask for a refund on TDS deduction from the Life Insurance company?

TDS refund cannot be allowed once TDS is deducted by the Life Insurance company and payment is made to Policy Holders.

Can NRI subsequently seek refund of GST charged by the Life Insurance company?

GST refund cannot be subsequently allowed once premium payment is made by customer along with GST. For availing GST waiver, the applications should be logged in with NRI GST waiver option within the buy journey.

What are the tax and regulatory provisions for Repatriation proceeds in Life Insurance?

NRIs can repatriate claims, maturity proceeds or surrender value of life insurance policy outside India, only in proportion in which the amount of premium has been paid in foreign currency through NRE / Foreign account in relation to the total premium payable.

If premium/s are paid by customers from NRE account, payout from policy can be made in NRE account, otherwise payment will be made to NRO account.

Any amount that is received from the life insurance policy that is not exempt under section 10(10D) of the Act, will be subject to withholding tax at applicable rates (as per the provisions of the Act and the balance amount (net of taxes) will be repatriable as per the FEMA Regulations mentioned above.

Whether GST is waived off if premiums are paid from NRE account through open market option in BALIC.?

We cannot offer GST waiver in this case, as the premium will not be received in convertible foreign exchange.
